Actress Tara Reid has dismissed reports she was hospitalised as a result of alcohol abuse earlier this month.

The 'American Pie' star was said to have checked into the Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center in Marina Del Ray, California for a nine-day stay to undergo tests for liver damage.

The reformed Hollywood wildchild was discharged at the weekend, according to US reports

Doctors worked around the clock to diagnose the 31-year-old, who checked into the Marina Del Rey medical centre in a distressed state. They discovered she had elevated liver enzymes.

But Reid has denied the reports, insisting: "I'm fine."
