“Emergency response personnel responded to a medical emergency call at Ms. Locklear’s residence” – Ventura County Sheriff’s Capt. Mike Aranda told PEOPLE. “Once they arrived, it was determined that Ms. Locklear needed to be transported to the hospital for further medical attention.”
Aranda told NBC News that when deputies arrived, paramedics were already administering aid to the actress.
A spokesperson for the sheriff’s department told Us Weekly that she had been transported to Los Robles Hospital.
According to TMZ, it was the actress’ sister who made the call shortly after 2 p.m. PT. The website also reports that law enforcement sources said Locklear, 50, had mixed alcohol with prescription drugs.
A source told Radar Onlinethat the “Melrose Place” star was “distraught over her relationship with Jack (Wagner), it is on and off and it has upset her lately.” Locklear and her ‘Melrose’ co-star Wagner ended their engagement in November, saying it was the best thing for their children.

Locklear recently called off her engagement to Jack Wagner. Sources tell RadarOnline: “She is distraught over her relationship with Jack. It is on and off and it has upset her lately.”
TMZ reports this isn’t the first time 911 has been called over concern Locklear had abused prescription drugs. In 2008, her doctor dialed 911 worried that she may have overdosed on her meds. The 911 operator described the incident as a ‘suicide attempt,’ but it reportedly turned out to be a false alarm.
