They thanked police and “the LA community” for helping to locate Fear, who had been living in Los Angeles for six years “on and off”.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to BBC that Tanya Fear has been found but stopped short of revealing any further details about her state and circumstances around her disappearance.
Fear, who starred in a 2018 episode of ‘Doctor Who’, was reported missing by a friend on Thursday. The family-run account stated that she was last spotted leaving her apartment at Hollywood Bowl on 9 September, without taking a phone or a purse with her.
As the family and friends sounded the alarm, #FindTanyaFear campaign went viral on social media.
No details were forthcoming after Fear’s discovery, so the public is now curious what could have possibly happened to the Brit.
