Reality star Kendra Wilkinson was recently admitted to an emergency room, USA TODAY can confirm.
The former Playboy model, 38, is "going home soon," her rep Cindy Guagenti told USA TODAY on Wednesday.
Her rep also confirmed Wilkinson's ex-husband Hank Baskett was by her side. The former pair share children Hank IV, 13, and Alijah Mary, 9.
Wilkinson's emergency room visit occurred following a panic attack on Tuesday, TMZ and Fox News reported.
"The Girls Next Door" alum previously spoke about her struggles with mental health after her divorce from Baskett, 41, and her long stint on reality television.
"I went through a divorce, lost everything I knew, which was my TV show. I had a TV show every year until my divorce," Wilkinson said on "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Melissa Gorga's podcast "On Display" in June. "Then my divorce happened and all of a sudden, now I'm left with no marriage, I'm left with no show, I had to move into a little house — I didn't understand what was going on and all of a sudden I had to do some intense healing."

Wilkinson was on TV from 2005 to 2017, appearing on shows "The Girls Next Door," "Kendra" and "Kendra on Top." The latter show chronicled her marriage to Baskett from 2009 to 2018.
"For years, I didn't have fame. I didn't have everything I knew for a really long time. I didn't know who I was. I was so lost," she told Gorga. The stark change in her life "triggered my depression" and made it "impossible to be happy at that point," she added.
Wilkinson eventually pushed through with motivation from her two children. "My kids were what gave me the purpose," she said. "They're the ones who kept my heart beating."
