Boardwalk Empire star Paz De La Huerta has been hospitalised after allegedly locking herself in a room.

The 34-year-old was taken to hospital on Sunday from an apartment in New York Citys Upper East Side, with a 911 caller reporting that an emotionally disturbed person was in need of help.

According to TMZ, law enforcement sources claimed that Paz has locked herself in a bedroom, and wanted medical attention.

Police and medical services responded, and the actress was transferred to a hospital in the area.

Her condition is unknown at this point; Metro.co.uk has contacted a rep for De La Huerta for comment.
