A Twitter account purportedly run by friends and family members of Tanya Fear asked for the public’s help locating her after she reportedly went missing. The actress was found later on Monday, according to a spokesperson cited by CBS News.
The 31-year-old British star, best known for her work on the popular show “Doctor Who” and in the movie “Kick Ass 2,” was reportedly not seen or in contact with anyone since Sept. 9, when the BBC reportedly confirmed that local police filed a missing persons report. She was last spotted Sept. 12 at a Trader Joe’s in the Los Angeles area, Insider.com noted in a piece published Monday.
