Drake Bell has been reported missing, with police concerned for his well-being.

The former child star was last seen on Wednesday at around 9pm in the area of Mainland High School, Florida.

Daytona Beach Police Department took to Facebook to appeal for information. Sharing a picture of the 36-year-old, they wrote: "Officers are looking for Jared Bell, DOB 06/27/1986.

"He should be traveling in a 2022 grey BMW and his last known location is potentially the area of Mainland High School on 4/12/2023 just before 9p.m.

"He is considered missing and endangered.

In the comments, police reiterated "this is a legitimate post" and urged anyone with information to get in touch.

Back in January, it was reported Drake and his wife Janet Von Schmeling has separated and were "headed for divorce"

"They had some incredible beautiful times before. He needs to focus on being healthy, and they’ll be great co-parents in the future.

"It's a bad moment in time for Drake. But he is a great dad when he is healthy and sober," a source told Page Six at the time.

They also said Janet moved back to Florida with their young son.

It's not the first time Drake has faced trouble since his time on Nickelodeon's Drake & Josh.

In 2021, he avoided serving jail time after pleading guilty to two criminal counts of attempted child endangerment and disseminating matters harmful to juveniles from an incident in 2017.

Drake was sentenced to two years of probation and 200 hours of community service at a court in Ohio.

He allegedly met a girl — who is now an adult — online and sent her "inappropriate social media messages".
