Kelsey Grammer suffered a mild heart attack this weekend while enjoying some free time at his Hawaii home and was immediately taken to hospital. It appears though that he is out of harm’s way now, as he is “resting comfortably.”

The 53-year-old “Frasier” star was in Hawaii, where he has a second home, enjoying the sunshine and quiet when he suffered a mild heart attack. Spokesman Stan Rosenfield said it was Saturday morning when Grammer “experienced symptoms” while “paddle boarding with his wife Camille.” The two were off the Kona coast of Hawaii’s Big Island.

“Grammer was immediately taken to an area hospital where it was determined that he had a mild heart attack.”

The spokesman said Grammer had otherwise been in “good health” and was now “resting comfortably.” The actor is expected to be released from hospital later this week. He was first brought to the local Kona Community Hospital on Saturday before being flown by helicopter to a Honolulu hospital for treatment, the Los Angeles Times reveals.

Rosenfield gave no further details of Grammer’s condition or his medical treatment.

Grammer first played Dr. Frasier Crane, a character that would become iconic and career defining for him, in 1984, in television sitcom “Cheers.” The role had such an enormous success that it evolved into spin-off series “Frasier.”

He became the highest-paid television actor in the US. The 20 years psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane survived on the small screen tied the record for the longest-running role portrayed by an actor in a prime time show with James Arness’ Marshall Matt Dillon on “Gunsmoke” (1955 to 1975).

His portrayal of Frasier has brought him multiple Emmy Awards, two Golden Globes and a SAG Award.

Grammer had embarked on a new series, costarring with Patricia Heaton in “Back to You.” The sitcom was cancelled by Fox last month, after only one season.
