The Daytona Beach Police Department had earlier issued a statement requesting information on the location of actor Drake Bell, sparking worldwide concern for his well-being.
The report mentioned that authorities were worried about his safety but did not provide any context for this concern.
TMZ has since reported that Bell has been found safe and unharmed and has regularly communicated with Daytona Beach PD officers.
People might have been concerned about Drake Bell due to his recent criticisms of Hollywood’s power structure. The actor has experienced challenges in recent years, including facing child endangerment allegations. Bell pleaded guilty to these charges and was sentenced to community service and two years of probation.
Initially, no statement was made on Bell’s social media accounts regarding his location or well-being. Consequently, his exact whereabouts remained unknown. Fans hoped the actor would soon personally reassure them of his safety. Although the Daytona Beach PD’s post confirmed his safety, many of Drake Bell’s fans wanted to hear directly from him.
Drake Bell took to social media on Thursday evening after the Daytona Beach Police Department had reported him missing earlier in the day. The actor was found safe following an urgent search by authorities and loved ones in Florida. However, his tweet downplaying the incident left fans feeling disheartened.
Drake Bell stated on Twitter, poking fun at the entire situation. “You leave your phone in the car and don’t answer for the night, and this?” Bell wrote, accompanied by a laughing emoji.
Drake Bell’s latest controversy, being declared ‘missing’ and endangered by Daytona Beach Police, adds to a series of troubling events involving the former star. Unfortunately, fans were not pleased with his casual dismissal of the situation.
