We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.

Daveigh caught her big break in Hollywood early on … voicing Lilo in the hit Disney film “Lilo & Stitch” back in 2002 and the follow-up TV show. She also voiced Chihiro Ogino in the American dub of “Spirited Away.”

Horror movie fans will recognize her from her haunting performance as Samara Morgan … the main antagonist in the hit 2002 film “The Ring” … for which she won an MTV Movie Award for Best Villain.

Beginning in 2006, Daveigh earned a recurring role in the HBO series “Big Love” … which follows a fundamentalist, polygamist Mormon family. She played Rhonda Volmer in 32 episodes of the hit show during its five-season run.

Her other credits include … “Donnie Darko,” “Beethoven’s 5th,” “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “ER,” “Mercy,” and more.

Daveigh had numerous run-ins with the law over the years, which we’ve covered.
