Actor Orlando Brown has been found after going missing during a trip to a convenience store in California.

The 20-year-old, best known for his role as Eddie Thomas on hit Disney TV show That's So Raven, was reported missing after leaving his manager Ricky Romance's Studio City house around 10.20am on Tuesday (22Apr08).

But the star returned home on Wednesday (23Apr08) telling his worried family and friends he "needed to be alone."

Brown blamed an incident following his performance at Club Tattoo in Los Angeles for his disappearance.

He says, "I felt a little lost and needed to get away. It got a bit overwhelming and I needed to be alone."

The star's publicist denied that the disappearance was a publicity stunt, adding, "It was not a hoax."

Brown thanked fans for their support and apologised for not informing anyone of his whereabouts. (LJ/WNWC/CAM)
