Arielle Kebbel's Sister Julia Reveals Why She Went Missing

It has been one month since actress Arielle Kebbel‘s sister Julia was found safe after going missing for two weeks.

Now, Julia has written an open letter to explain what happened during those two weeks and express her gratitude to all the people who helped in the search to find her.

“My name is Julia Kebbel. I have bipolar disorder and suffered a severe episode at the end of January, 2018. It led to me experiencing a psychotic break from reality, during which time, I went missing with my dog, Cindy,” Julia wrote in the note, posted to Arielle‘s Instagram page.

“Thanks to my wonderful family, friends, colleagues and many good Samaritans who didn’t even know me, I am now safe (Cindy too) and extremely grateful for the treatment and care I’m getting,” she added. “I would like to thank every person involved in the search for us for your incredible outpouring of support and love. On my road to recovery, I am hoping to help raise awareness of mental health disorders, including fighting the stigmatization of these illnesses that affect so many. I proudly stand with you.”
