LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) "Two and a Half Men" star Charlie Sheen is out of the hospital and back home.

Sheen left a Los Angeles hospital Thursday night, his publicist Stan Rosenfield says. Sheen had been taken to the hospital earlier in the day complaining of severe stomach pains.

Rosenfield says the actor has a history of hernia problems.

Published reports have said Sheen was visited in the hospital by his father, actor Maatin Sheen, his mother and his ex-wife Denise Richards.

Rosenfield said Friday that Sheen will be back on the set of CBS' "Two and a Half Men" when a filming hiatus ends Tuesday.

The 45-year-old actor with a history of substance abuse and rehabs has been dogged by personal problems and apparent health issues, with three hospitalizations in three months. Two weeks ago, CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler said the network has a "high level of concern" about its hard-partying star but would do nothing as long as the actor could do his job.
