Winona Ryder hospitalised after flight lands in London

Actress Winona Ryder was taken to a London hospital on Wednesday after she fell ill on a British Airways flight from Los Angeles to Heathrow.

Doctors at Heathrow treated the actress for an unspecified problem, and she was taken to a local hospital as a precautionary measure, according to her publicist and also a spokesperson for British Airways.

“She did fall ill on a plane and as a precautionary measure they took her to a hospital,” Ryder’s publicist Mara Buxbaum said.

“She has already been released from hospital. She was there for an hour. She’s in good health. There’s no drama,” she added.

A spokesman for Hillingdon Hospital in nearby Uxbridge had said earlier that the 37-year-old was treated at the airport immediately after the flight landed.

The British Airways spokesperson said: “The captain of BA282, which was travelling from LA to Heathrow, requested a priority landing as a female passenger required medical attention. The passenger was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The plane touched down shortly before noon UK time,” the spokesperson added, noting that members of the cabin crew looked after her during the flight.

Ryder is best known for her work in films such as Age of Innocence, Edward Scissorhands and Girl, Interrupted.
