According to O’Donnell, her daughter Chelsea hasn’t been seen since Aug. 11. She left home with her 6-month-old therapy dog named Bear. She was wearing a black hoodie, dark blue ripped jeans, and gray Converse sneakers. She also had on a black backpack and has a tattoo of a dream catcher on the right side of her body. Cindi Berger, spokeswoman for the family, says that Chelsea isn’t carrying any money or a phone.

O’Donnell added that “Chelsea stopped taking her medicine and is in need of medical attention.”

“Chelsea, like millions of people, lives with mental illness,” Berger told CNN. “It has been a difficult road for Chelsea and her family, and they just want her back safe.”
