Charlie Sheen discharged from hospital

Troubled Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen has been discharged from hospital and hasreturned home, according to his publicist.

Stan Rosenfield saysSheen left a Los Angeles hospital Thursday night after having been admitted earlier in the day complaining of severe stomach pains. The actor has a history of hernia problems.

Rosenfield said Friday that Sheen will be back on the set of CBS's Two and a Half Men when a filming hiatus ends Tuesday.

The 45-year-old actor was taken by ambulance to a Los Angeles hospital early Thursday morning, after an unidentified woman made an early-morning 911 call on his behalf.

The Emmy-nominated sitcom star has been dogged by personal problems and apparent health issues.

This is his third hospitalization in as many months.

Just last week, CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler said network officials "have a high level of concern" about his off-camera behaviour.
