Owen Wilson Hospitalized in Calif.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Owen Wilson was taken to the hospital by paramedics this weekend, authorities said Monday.

It wasn’t known why the 38-year-old actor was hospitalized, but a neighbor said a police car, fire truck and ambulance were outside Wilson’s gated house around noon Sunday.

"These guys were kind of taking their time taking a stretcher out of the ambulance, then they went into the house," said neighbor Geoffry White, 61, who lives directly across the street.

A spokesman for Wilson said a statement would be released later Monday.

Santa Monica Fire Battalion Chief Jose Torres said Monday the department responded to a call that involved Wilson.

He said Wilson was taken to St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica. A hospital spokeswoman didn’t immediately return phone calls. The chief wouldn’t comment on Wilson’s injuries or condition, citing federal privacy laws.

Wilson’s screen credits include "Wedding Crashers" and "You, Me and Dupree." He was nominated for a screenwriting Oscar for 2001′s "The Royal Tenenbaums."
