"Wedding Crashers" star Owen Wilson was hospitalized in good condition Monday, a day after he was taken from his home by ambulance, a hospital spokeswoman said.
"I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time," Wilson said in a statement released through publicist Ina Treciokas.
No further comments were expected, she said.
"Entertainment Tonight" is reporting that Wilson was discovered by a family member inside his Santa Monica home and that he possibly had attempted suicide.
Santa Monica police confirmed that at 12:10 p.m. Sunday, officers responded to a medical assistance call from the Santa Monica Fire Department.
Santa Monica Fire Battalion Chief Jose Torres said Monday that the department responded to a call that involved the 38-year-old actor.
The chief would not comment on Wilson's injuries or condition, citing federal privacy laws.
The patient believed to be Wilson was transported to a hospital near his home, but hours later was transferred to Cedars-Sinai in Beverly Hills.
Wilson's brothers Luke and Andrew were seen arriving at Cedars-Sinai Sunday night around 8 p.m.
A neighbor of Wilson's said a police car, fire truck and ambulance were outside the actor's gated house Sunday around noon, The Associated Press reported.
"These guys were kind of taking their time taking a stretcher out of the ambulance, then they went into the house," said neighbor Geoffry White, 61, who lives directly across the street from the actor.
Wilson, who recently broke up with actress Kate Hudson, was nominated for an Oscar for "The Royal Tenebaums" screenplay. He has starred in many box-office blockbusters such as "Zoolander" with Ben Stiller and the thriller "Behind Enemy Lines" with Gene Hackman.
Most recently, he starred in "Night at the Museum," with Stiller and is slated to star in the film adaptation of the book "Marley and Me."
