Mischa BartonMischa Barton has left the hospital.

The actress — who was placed under psychiatric hold on July 15 — checked out of Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and will get back to work on her CW show The Beautiful Life, her rep said.

“I can confirm that she’s left the hospital with the intention to resume production,” Craig Schneider told Us Weekly magazine.

On Friday, Ashton Kutcher, co-creator of The Beautiful Life, said Barton was recovering well.

“I can tell you right now Mischa Barton is doing great,” Kutcher told reporters at a technology conference in Pasadena, Calif.

It had been claimed that prior to Mischa being sectioned, she had been on a three day drugs binge, leaving friends fearing for her life.

“She’s in very bad shape,” a source told the New York Post. “She’s running out of money and can’t find love, so now she is looking for a good time to escape her misery. She is on a downward spiral.

“She is a mess. She is a suicidal, uninsurable mess.”
