The report also mentioned that both the Ventura County Fire and the Sheriff's Department responded to the call that was made from Locklear's home.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight on Monday, a spokesperson for the Ventura County Sheriff's Department said that they headed to the actress' home around 3:50 p.m.
"Our deputies responded, along with Ventura County Fire," the spokesperson stated. "When we responded and contacted the person at the residence, [we] determined that there was no crime. It was strictly a medical call. There was a patient that was transported to a local hospital," the spokesperson added.
The spokesperson also mentioned that they did not discover any guns or other weapons when they arrived at Locklear's property.
A source also talked about the incident with the publication, saying that her family was scared for her. "She was aggressive and attacked her mother. She seemed out of control again, so they called the police. They felt they had no choice," the source also said.
In addition, the insider claimed that Locklear's family normally wants to keep their issues among themselves. However, the incident was already out of control that is why they decided to call the police.
This is the latest setback in Locklear's life this year. The actress was arrested in February due to a domestic violence call when she reportedly hit her boyfriend Chris Heisser. She also reportedly entered rehab back in March to fight her substance addiction.
