Mischa Barton reportedly hospitalized for mental evaluation after breakdown

Model Mischa Barton poses on the red carpet as she arrives for the screening of film "Loving" in competition at the 69th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, May 16, 2016.

Mischa Barton was rushed to the hospital Thursday for a mental evaluation after she was caught on camera hanging over a fence — ranting and raving about her mom being a “witch” and the world ending, a report says.

“Oh my God, it’s over! I feel it, and it’s angry!” the former “O.C.” star reportedly shouted, while standing in the backyard of her West Hollywood home.

According to TMZ, the 31-year-old had been displaying bizarre behavior on Thursday morning, which had her friends and neighbors extremely worried.

Photos obtained by the website show Barton wearing only a dress shirt and what looks to be a tie — as she stands in her backyard, acting erratically.

Sources told TMZ that the actress was rambling on and on about the world “shattering” and her mom being a “witch.” At one point, she also reportedly began yelling something about Ziggy Stardust.

Cops and firefighters eventually responded to a call for a distressed person and voluntarily transported Barton to a hospital for mental evaluation, the sources said.

The incident comes nearly 8 years after the television star was hospitalized and placed under an involuntary psychiatric-hold following an alleged breakdown.

In 2007, she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, possession of marijuana, and driving without a valid license.

Jill Stein on 11 key issues: Where does Green Party presidential candidate stand?

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein presents herself as a viable alternative this year to the two major-party candidates, who have the lowest approval ratings of any presidential nominees in the past seven decades. Stein, 66, of Lexington, Mass., is making her second bid for president on the Green Party ballot line. The Harvard-educated doctor received almost 500,000 votes for president in 2012, which she boasts is still the record for most votes received by a woman candidate for president in the general election. Stein says she became involved in politics more than a decade ago because she didn't like the country's direction, and had become alarmed about children becoming ill from environmental pollution and unhealthy foods they are provided. She and running mate Ajamu Baraka support a "Green New Deal" under which the government would end dependence on fossil fuels, fight climate change and create millions of new green-energy jobs.
