David Hasselhoff has spoken out to silence speculation about his recent stay in the hospital - insisting he's "happy and healthy."

The Baywatch star was taken to Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Friday and spent two days receiving treatment. The actor was hit by rumors he had suffered a seizure, while other media outlets reported the 57 year old was detained on an involuntary psychiatric hold.

However Hasselhoff, who was back home from the hospital on Sunday, is adamant the rumors about his health are completely unfounded.

He tells TMZ.com, "I'm with my family, I'm happy, I'm healthy and contrary to reports I did not have a seizure. I did not be (sic) admitted to a psychiatric ward. My private life is exactly that, private. I'm happy, I'm healthy thank you very much."
