Comedian Andy Dick has spoken out to fans after he was found unresponsive outside a Hollywood building.
The comic, 59, sparked fears he may have suffered an overdose after he was found slumped over and unresponsive on the streets of Hollywood.
The actor was reportedly aided by pedestrians and witnesses who tried to revive the star.
TMZ obtained pics of Andy, unconscious, on cement stairs outside a building in Hollywood during the day on Tuesday.
Dick has since spoken out, confirming to TMZ that he’s OK. He didn’t reveal any details about the medical incident.

In 2012, he revealed he had been in and out of rehab more than 10 times.
‘I would always say that I didn’t have a problem with drugs and alcohol,” he told Vice in 2016. ‘But I would drink when I was happy, when I was sad, when I was anxious.
‘Without drugs or alcohol, I was depressed, frustrated, angry’
