 After reporting that the "Drake & Josh" star was "missing and in danger," the police confirm that Drake Bell is now "safe."

UPDATE: The Daytona Beach Police Department reported that actor Drake Bell was confirmed to be "safe" and in contact with law enforcement officials at 1:26 p.m. ET on Thursday.

In a Facebook post on Thursday morning, the Daytona Beach Police Department stated that Bell was initially "considered missing and endangered." When Variety contacted the police, neither did the manager of Bell immediately respond to a request for comment.

On Twitter, Bell addressed his disappearance later on Thursday: What's this? You leave your phone in the car and don't answer for the night? with an emoji of laughter.

As per the first police report, Chime, whose genuine name is Jared Drake Ringer, was seen going in a 2022 dark BMW and "his most recent area is possibly the area of Central area Secondary School on 4/12/2023 not long before 9 p.m." Daytona Ocean side police are requesting that general society give any data on Ringer's whereabouts by reaching Criminal investigator Jayson Wallace at 386-671-5207.

In the popular Nickelodeon series "Drake & Josh," which aired for four seasons and 56 episodes between 2004 and 2007, Bell, 36, became famous alongside Josh Peck. The entertainer was a cast part on the organization's "The Amanda Show" before driving his own series. Bell stayed with Nick after "Drake & Josh" and played Timmy Turner in a live-action trilogy called "The Fairly OddParents."

Bell entered a guilty plea in June 2021 to a felony charge of attempting to endanger children and a misdemeanor charge of spreading harmful information to minors. In the end, he was given a sentence that included 200 hours of community service and two years of probation. The charges were based on an incident that took place in December 2017 between Bell, who was then 31 years old, and a girl who was 15. Police said at the time that the gathering between the two followed a very long time of virtual entertainment messages that were "on occasion … sexual in nature."

Bell was arrested in 2015 for DUI, and bail was set at $20,000 for him. He spent four days in jail after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor in that case.
