Mischa BartonMischa BartonMischa Barton's family is in crisis.

And she's angry at the way it's been dealt with.

Her rep has blasted a tabloid report that the actress' sister was rushed to hospital for a drug overdose.

There has been no further confirmation of what has allegedly taken place involving her sis, Hania.

But Mischa's rep issued a statement at her anger for a tabloid's coverage of the incident.

"Mischa understands that as an actress and a public person she needs to address her issues in a timely and appropriate manner.

"That being said, she's the only public person in her family and we will not address these sleazy, tabloid reports.

"I think these pieces of s*** who work at hospitals and sell private information are not only breaking the law, but they're morally reprehensible.

"They're selling people's private information for the price of dinner for four at Lawry's. And I hope they choke on their prime rib."
