Winona Ryder, who became ill on a flight to Heathrow, has left a London hospital "in good health".

A spokesman for Hillingdon Hospital in Uxbridge, west London, said the 37-year-old was treated by medics after getting off the plane and was then taken to the hospital.

Her publicist, Mara Buxbaum, said: "She did fall ill on a plane and as a precautionary measure they took her to a hospital. She has already been released.

"She was there for an hour. She's in good health. There's no drama."

A spokesman for British Airways said: "The captain of BA282, which was travelling from LA to Heathrow, requested a priority landing as a female passenger required medical attention.

"The passenger was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The plane touched down shortly before noon UK time."

Ryder was travelling on a Boeing 747-400 plane from Los Angeles International Airport.
