Authorities in Daytona Beach, Florida, said former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell was found safe on Thursday after police alerted the public hours earlier that the actor was "considered missing and endangered."

"At this time we can confirm law enforcement officials are in contact and Mr. Bell is safe," Daytona Beach police said Thursday afternoon.
