Rosie O'Donnell's Daughter Found Safe

NEW YORK (AP) — Rosie O'Donnell's 17-year-old daughter Chelsea has been found safe.

The comedian tweeted the news on Tuesday afternoon. Chelsea had not been seen since leaving the family's home north of New York City last Tuesday.

O'Donnell's daughter left the house with a therapy dog and had not been taking needed medication, according to O'Donnell's spokeswoman, Cindi Berger.

"Chelsea, like millions of people, lives with mental illness. It has been a difficult road for Chelsea and her family and they just want her back safe." Berger said.
