(CBS) Heather Locklear was said to be in "medically stable" condition Thursday night with her parents by her side, after an emergency call was placed from the "Melrose Place" star's home and she was rushed to a Southern California hospital.

"She is in no danger and she's going to be just fine," Bill and Diane Locklear said in a statement issued by Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center, reports People.

The 50-year-old actress was taken to the hospital after a 911 call was placed from her house northwest of Los Angeles. According to reports, Locklear took a "dangerous mix of prescription drugs and alcohol."

Kris Carraway-Bowman, a spokesperson for the hospital, declined to comment on exactly why Locklear was admitted, but stated the actress arrived at 2:30 p.m. and by 8 p.m. was sleeping.

Locklear has been hospitalized several times over the years and in 2009 pleaded no contest to reckless driving after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of prescription medication.

by HiTor15 January 13, 2012 2:31 PM EST: Its really sad when things go this bad for someone who was once on top of the world...but she has to adjust to it...you cant stay up there forever, and besides how many poor people never ever get even close to being where she was. She should be grateful for the luck she had in her life I think and call it a nice day in the park for her. The vast majority of people never have that nice day in the park life.; Reply to this comment
