Tyler Chase spent Christmas in the rain, accepting kindness from strangers while her struggles played out in public view.
The old Nickelodeon The star, best known for “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide,” was spotted on the streets of Southern California just days before being hospitalized.
As friends, family and former co-stars worked urgently behind the scenes, new details emerged about the desperate efforts that ultimately led to Chase receiving critical medical care.

Chase was admitted to a Southern California hospital for a 72-hour psychiatric hold after a last-minute crisis intervention on Christmas Day.
According to the Daily Mail, friends and family urgently coordinated for immediate care after months of worry.
His former “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide” co-star, Daniel Curtis Lee, confirmed that Chase’s father “asked” influencer Jacob “Jake” Harris to do whatever was necessary to help his son.
Harris said he was able to contact a crisis center willing to do a same-day evaluation.
“I was finally able to get my hands on a crisis center that came to do an assessment the same day,” he explains.

The evaluation concluded that the former actor needed immediate hospitalization and was transported to a local facility for treatment.
Harris added: “He’s in good care now. And the future looks bright. He just needed someone to actually do something to help him.”

The successful hospitalization came only after an earlier attempt to help Tylor Chase failed.
Shaun Weiss, the former “Mighty Ducks” star who has spoken openly about his own recovery journey, got involved after receiving numerous messages from concerned fans.
Weiss confirmed that he and Harris were initially able to get Chase off the street and into a hotel room, but Chase later resisted going to a hospital or rehab center.
Weiss explained that Harris tried to build trust, describing the process as delicate given Chase’s mental state.
He said the 36-year-old initially seemed open to treatment, but became afraid.
Weiss remembers Chase saying, “I like my life the way it is,” before backing away from help.

He stressed that the authorities were cooperative and that the objective remained clear. “We’re just doing whatever we need to do to get him off the street,” Weiss noted.

Just hours before he was hospitalized, Chase was seen on Christmas Eve walking the rainy streets of Southern California.
Video footage showed a fan giving him a red raincoat and food while offering a prayer.
The “Good Time Max” star appeared grateful, smiling briefly and saying, “I appreciate that!” ” as the man prayed for him, asking God to “release demonic activity” and “bring him out of darkness.”
Earlier in the day, Chase was spotted near a 7-Eleven, wearing a tattered purple jacket and rummaging through cigarette butts and Christmas cards.
In an emotional message to his mother during that meeting, he said: “I love you. I will talk to you soon.”
Daniel Curtis Lee has been open about his feelings about Tylor Chase’s current situation.
Recently he told the Daily Mail that he had been deeply concerned since seeing a TikTok video in November showing Chase struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues.
“It was devastating to see someone I grew up with in that state,” Lee said. While acknowledging that he hadn’t been in close contact with Chase in years, he said he could still “see the light in Tylor’s eyes,” which gave him hope.
The actor also confirmed that he spoke with Chase’s mother, Paula, who warned him against giving money directly to her son, explaining that it could put him in danger.

However, she stressed that “her door is open”. Lee asked the public to respect Chase’s privacy and urged people to stop recording him when offering help, while expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support.
As Chase begins treatment, past videos he recorded before becoming homeless have resurfaced, offering insight into his long-standing mental health issues.
In a 2014 video titled “Bipolar“, Chase described feeling overwhelmed and trapped.
“I’m just a leaf in a gutter with the inevitable fate of ending up in a sewer,” he said, adding that life seemed increasingly difficult even though he knew it could get better.
He continued with a haunting metaphor, calling himself “a magician who misplaced his top hat and his bunnies,” before concluding: “Maybe I’m doomed. Maybe I didn’t do anything. Maybe I’m nothing.”
