Owen Wilson pleaded in a statement  Monday to be allowed to "receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."

But the actor's camp isn't shedding any light on Wilson's mysterious hospitalization, USA Today online reported.

On Monday, the Wedding Crashers actor was in good condition at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after Santa Monica police responded to a medical call Sunday afternoon.

Celebrity Web sites were reporting Monday that actor Owen Wilson was hospitalized Sunday in Los Angeles, with one tabloid claiming he had attempted suicide.

TMZ.com posted a statement from the Santa Monica Police on its Web site: "On Sunday Aug. 26, 2007 at 12:10 PM, officers from the Santa Monica Police Department responded to a medical assistance call from the Santa Monica Fire Department at the 900 block of 23rd Street.

The person was transported to a local hospital where they are being treated."

The National Enquirer Web site was reporting that Wilson was transported to St. John's hospital in Santa Monica with sources telling the Enquirer and Star magazines that the actor had sliced his left wrist and taken an indeterminate amount of pills in a suicide attempt.

Wilson, 38, is the middle brother of the Dallas-born Wilson brothers Hollywood family; Luke is 35, Andrew is 43. Luke Wilson was among visitors to Cedars-Sinai on Monday, People.com says.

Owen, who was nominated for an Oscar for 2001's The Royal Tenenbaums, had been filming Tropic Thunder in Hawaii and Los Angeles. The comedy, which is directed by and co-stars Ben Stiller, is due next summer. DreamWorks would not comment on whether Wilson's recovery would affect filming.
