**’Home Alone’ Star Daniel Stern Hospitalized After Medical Emergency**
**SOMIS, CA (October 14, 2025) –** Actor Daniel Stern, best known for his role as hapless burglar Marv in the “Home Alone” films, was rushed to the hospital on October 7th after experiencing a medical emergency at his home in Somis, California.
The Ventura County Fire Department confirmed they responded to a call at Stern’s residence and transported the 68-year-old to a nearby hospital. The nature of the medical emergency remains undisclosed.
Fortunately, Stern has since been released and is reportedly in good health, according to his representative.
Since leaving Hollywood behind to live a quieter life on his farm where he raises cattle and grows tangerines, Stern has kept a low profile. He also works as a sculptor.
The actor’s recent hospitalization comes after revelations from his memoir, “Home and Alone,” detailing his fight for fair compensation during the “Home Alone” sequel. Stern recounts initially being offered a significantly lower salary than his co-star Joe Pesci, who played his partner-in-crime Harry. He eventually secured a larger salary and a percentage of the gross profits after negotiating directly with the studio.
A request for comment from Stern’s representatives went unanswered.
