A message on her website asking for help says Chelsea “stopped taking her medicine and is in need of medical attention”.

Fox News reports that the teenager was found in a residence in New Jersey.

The police said that when officers went to the residence, the person answering the door initially did not want to reveal Chelsea’s presence. Police responded that they would not leave until she came out. Chelsea then appeared and left with police without incident.

The 17-year-old is the adopted daughter of O’Donnell and her ex-partner Kelli Carpenter.
