Zac Efron said he is "happy and healthy" after he was taken to hospital following a swimming incident over the weekend.

Representatives of the 36-year-old American actor told TMZ that he had a "minor swimming incident" at a villa in Ibiza on Friday.

He was taken to hospital as a "precautionary measure", they added.

The actor was released the following day on Saturday and was doing "just fine" according to his representatives.

A source told TMZ Efron was "found inside the swimming pool by two people working at the villa who pulled him out of the water".

On Sunday, the star posted a story on Instagram of him working out with the caption: "Happy and healthy - thanks for the well wishes".

Over the past month, Efron had been travelling around Europe and was spotted in St Tropez, Mykonos and Paris.
