Mischa Barton’s personal troubles took another turn on Thursday, as the former star of “The O.C.” star was hospitalized, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told TheWrap.

According to the sheriff’s department, law enforcement and the fire department responded to a disturbance at a West Hollywood, California, location, to find Barton “being loud” and “making incoherent statements.”

Barton was voluntarily transported to the hospital.

Sources connected to the actress told TMZ that during the incident Barton hung from the backyard fence at her home and rambled about a variety of topics, including her mother — who she claimed was a witch — and David Bowie‘s alter-ego Ziggy Stardust.

TMZ reported that Barton, who according to the site was hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation, at one point declared, “Oh my God, it’s over! I feel it, and it’s angry!”

TMZ added that the actress was clad only in a dress shirt and a tie during the incident.

Barton’s previous personal difficulties include a 2007 DUI arrest and a stint at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

In 2013, the actress reflected on her past problems, telling People, “It was a full-on breakdown” and that “I was under enormous pressure.”

TheWrap has reached out to Barton’s representation for comment.
