Actor Luke Perry has been hospitalised after having a stroke.

Paramedics were called to Riverdale star's LA home around 7:40am on Thursday (local time), TMZ reports. It is reportedly unclear what his condition is.

Perry's representatives told Variety the actor was currently "under observation" in hospital.

The stroke coincidentally struck on the same day a Beverly Hills 90210 reboot was announced - the show which shot him to fame.

Original cast members Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green, and Tori Spelling will star, but Perry had not been announced to return.

Spelling previously told Access Live that Perry's production schedule on Riverdale would prevent him from being a regular, but he would do as many episodes as possible.
