Sinead O'Connor found safe after being reported missing

Irish singer-songwriter Sinead O'Connor, who went missing for more than a day, was found safe in a Chicago suburb after a police search.

The police in Wilmette, Illinois, issued an updated statement on Monday that "Sinead O'Connor has been located," reports variety.com.

"She is safe and is no longer listed as a missing/endangered person," read the statement.

Police had previously issued a "check for well-being" after O'Connor was reported missing after not returning from a bike ride on Sunday morning.

"The Wilmette police is seeking to check the well-being of Sinead O'Connor," a previous police statement said.

"O'Connor reportedly left the Wilmette area for a bicycle ride yesterday at 6 a.m. and has not returned. A caller expressed concern for her well-being and no other information is available at this time," the statement further continued.

O'Connor received medical treatment in November after threatening suicide in a Facebook post, which claimed she took "an overdose".
