SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Police were called to Owen Wilson’s home because of an attempted suicide report, according to a police log of weekend calls.

The log doesn’t indicate who made the call Sunday, but lists “attempt suicide” as the reason for it.

The television show “Extra” reported on its Web site that Wilson's brother, Luke, found him on Sunday.

Wilson was in good condition Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Hospital officials said Tuesday they weren’t releasing any updated information.

The actor’s publicist, Ina Treciokas, declined to answer questions Tuesday about whether Wilson attempted to commit suicide. She said Wilson’s statement asking for privacy was all that was being released.

Wilson, 38, was initially taken by ambulance from his home to Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica and later transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

The police log shows the initial call came in at 12:08 p.m. and cleared at 5:17 p.m. and a report was filed. Police said Monday that privacy laws prohibited them from releasing that document.

The police log was obtained Tuesday by CelebTV.com.

Wilson has two movies in production and two more upcoming releases to help promote.

DreamWorks Pictures said in a statement that filming continues on “Tropic Thunder,” a comedy starring Wilson. The studio offered no details on whether Wilson’s role in the movie, directed by Ben Stiller and starring Jack Black, would be recast.

It was also unknown if Wilson’s hospitalization would affect his appearance opposite Jennifer Aniston in the 20th Century Fox comedy “Marley & Me.”

A Fox spokesman told Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety that “it’s a totally inappropriate question at this time” whether he would appear in the movie.

Wilson’s hospitalization could also keep him from helping promote “The Darjeeling Limited,” in which he stars alongside Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman. The Fox Searchlight film was to be released next month.

Paramount also had a Wilson film due out in March: the Judd Apatow-produced “Drillbit Taylor.”

Treciokas released a brief statement Monday on Wilson’s behalf: “I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time.”
