David Hasselhoff was reportedly rushed to the hospital from his Los Angeles-area home Friday after suffering a seizure, according to RadarOnline.com.

The former “Baywatch” star was taken to Cedars-Sinai medical center after daughter Hayley called 911, a source told the Web site.

“Paramedics were called to the (address omitted) in Encino for medical aid,” Los Angeles City Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott said. “Paramedics arrived at approximately 11:51 a.m. and later transported the patient a nearby hospital.”

It wasn’t immediately clear if alcohol consumption caused the incident. Hasselhoff has publicly struggled with alcoholism, and had been drinking “both before and after Thanksgiving,” according to RadarOnline.

Hasselhoff was hospitalized in late September due to alcohol poisoning after taping a season of “America’s Got Talent,” on which he is a judge. In November he appeared drunk while serving as a presenter during the MTV Europe Music Awards.
