LOS ANGELES — “Stand by Me” actor Corey Feldman has been hospitalized after suffering an emergency on a flight to Los Angeles.

The 54-year-old former child star was greeted by paramedics after landing at Los Angeles International Airport on June 15, a spokesperson confirmed to USA TODAY Monday night. He was admitted to the hospital and is on “rest” overnight while awaiting the results of an MRI.

USA TODAY contacted the Los Angeles Fire Department for more information. TMZ was first to report the news.

On June 15, before he was hospitalized, the “Goonies” actor posted a photo from his trip to the Midwest. The day before, he appeared on the 40th anniversary tour of “Stand by Me” at the Chicago Theater with Jerry O’Connell and Wil Wheaton.

“We have an instant connection and it’s there. There’s a camaraderie there, there’s jokes. We have a lot of fun,” Feldman said in an interview with People magazine in March.

“But we have something coming up,” he added, referring to his late co-star River Phoenix and director Rob Reiner, who was murdered along with his wife Michele Reiner in their home in December.

“The title of the movie is ‘Stand by Me,’ and there are four people in the cast,” Feldman said. “We can’t be by River’s side because he’s not here. I’m sorry and I’m getting a little emotional now that Rob isn’t here either, but I really wanted him to be able to join us for this.”
