Denise Richards’s vehicle was shot at during a road rage incident Monday.

The 51-year-old actor’s representatives said that Richards and her husband Aaron were on their way to a film studio in a pickup truck on Monday 14 November.

As the couple slowed down to look for street parking, a passing motorist reportedly opened fire on the vehicle after becoming irritated while trying to pass.

No one was injured during the incident, but Richards was left shaken and arrived in tears to the film set, according to US media reports.

As per TMZ, the police were called after someone at the studio spotted gunshot damage on the Ford Shelby F-150 truck.

It has not been confirmed whether anyone attended the scene to take a report.

NBC News reported that the Los Angeles Police Department, which has jurisdiction in the area of the studio, said that it had no record of such a report and that no investigation was underway.

“We don’t even know where it happened at this point,” Officer Melissa Podany told the outlet.

The Independent has contacted Richards’s representatives for comment.

Earlier this year, Richards opened up about her OnlyFans account and how her daughter, Sami Sheen, her daughter with actor Charlie Sheen, is “incredibly supportive” of it.

The 51-year-old actor discussed how she launched her OnlyFans page after her 18-year-old daughter created one during an interview with People. While Richards confessed that she didn’t know how the site “worked” at first, she said that she later discovered that it was a “very safe platform”.

“I think that the platform really allows creators to be able to communicate with fans in a more dynamic way and to be our true, authentic self. It’s a very safe platform, it’s 18 and over,” The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star said. “You can do what you feel you want to do. It has allowed me to be able to be more interactive with fans.”

“It reminds me of when you join a fan site, whoever it was that you are a fan of,” she added. “That’s how I feel that this site is.”
