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.

Those creepy dancing twin girls would also make an appearance. And there'd be a gun. My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j
