Rosie O'Donnell reports daughter missing

Rosie O'Donnell's teenage daughter has been reported missing.

The 53-year-old star has issued an appeal on her website, seeking any information about the whereabouts of Chelsea O'Donnell, 17, who is battling mental illness and was last seen near their home in Nyack, New York last Tuesday (08.11.15).

A statement on the former 'The View' host's site reads: "Rosie O'Donnell's 17-year-old daughter, Chelsea O'Donnell was reported missing. Nyack, New York police authorities have been looking for her in the Rockland County area since Sunday, August 16. She was last seen Tuesday, August 11. She was wearing a black sweatshirt hoodie, dark ripped blue jeans, women's grey converse sneakers and a black backpack. Chelsea has a large tattoo on her right side of a dream catcher with the word 'Breathe.' She left home with her six-month-old therapy dog named Bear. The dog is a nine pounds brown and black terrier. Chelsea stopped taking her medicine and is in need of medical attention. Any information please contact authorities at 845-358-0206 or 911."

A spokesperson for her mother also told gossip website TMZ.com: "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."

Rosie has posted a number of pictures of Chelsea on her social media sites and begged her via Twitter to call home yesterday (08.17.15), writing: "dude was asking for u today ... dude #urFAMILY #call (sic)"

Chelsea is Rosie's daughter with ex-wife Kelli Carpenter. The former couple, who split in 2007, have two other children, Blake and Vivienne.
