LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Former child actor Gary Coleman was hospitalized in the Los Angeles area after suffering an apparent seizure, "The Insider" says.

The tabloid TV show said Coleman suffered the apparent seizure while on the show's set Friday and received care from fellow panelist Dr. Drew Pinsky until paramedics arrived, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The current condition of the 41-year-old former star of "Diff'rent Strokes" was not released.

Coleman suffers from congenital kidney disease and was previously hospitalized after suffering a seizure in Los Angeles in January.

The Times said Coleman, who played Arnold Jackson on "Strokes," appeared on "The Insider" on Feb. 17, but left the set after being confronted by allegations of domestic violence.

"The Insider" said it will not release the footage of Coleman's suspected seizure from Friday.
