Rosie O’Donnell posted a note on her website Tuesday saying that her 17-year-old daughter, Chelsea, is missing and was last seen Tuesday, August 11 in New York with her dog, a black terrier named Bear.
Chelsea, one of Rosie’s five children, was last seeing “wearing a black sweatshirt hoodie, dark ripped blue jeans, women’s grey converse sneakers, and a black backpack.” According to the note on Rosie’s site, “Chelsea stopped taking her medicine and is in need of medical attention.”
Hours before posting the official notice that Chelsea was missing, Rosie tweeted out a photo of Chelsea with a baby and the caption, “dude was asking for u today … dude #urFAMILY #call.” See the posts below, and see Rosie’s website for more information on how to help.

Chelsea O’Donnell has been found safe and sound. Late on Tuesday, Chelsea was found in a home in Barnegat, NJ. Barnegat Police Lt.
