US

Chanel Maya Banks, an actor whose family said she went missing for two weeks, has been found safe, police said.

Family members of the 36-year-old, who appeared on “Gossip Girl” and “Blue Bloods,” said they had not heard from her since Oct. 30.

Her cousin, Danielle-Tori Singh, who flew in from Toronto to help search for her, said the two are very close and that the family became concerned when they didn’t hear from her.

“Five days without hearing from my cousin is red flags and alarm bells,” Singh told Los Angeles ABC station KABC. “She doesn’t go more than 48 hours without speaking to me or her mom. … That girl is more like a big sister to me.”
