Chelsea O’Donnell had been last seen a week ago, the TV personality said in apost to her website. She said the girl “stopped taking her medicine and is in need of medical attention,” and was last seen with her therapy dog.
Chelsea was officially reported missing to South Nyack police by her family on Sunday, after she didn’t come home Aug. 11, police said.
“Rosie wants to thank everyone for their help, especially the South Nyack, NY and Barneget Light, NJ police departments,” O’Donnell’s spokesperson, Berger, Cindi, said in a statement Tuesday evening.
O’Donnell, 53, stepped down earlier this year from her second run as a panelist on “The View.”
