Kelsey Grammer home from hospital

Frasier star Kelsey Grammer is out of hospital four days after suffering a heart attack in Hawaii.

The actor's publicist said he is resting comfortably at his second home in Kona on the main island.

The 53-year-old experienced chest pains while paddle- boarding, and was treated for what the actor's publicist called a "mild" attack and declined to give further details of Grammer's condition or his medical treatment at the weekend. 

Although Grammer does not have a history of heart trouble, he has battled alcoholism and drug addiction.

He was treated for drink problems at a rehabilitation centre in 1990, but became addicted to cocaine shortly after he was released.

He said: "The minute I got out I went home and did a lot of cocaine. It took me to the place where I felt like I was at the edge. And I liked living there. I probably would have died if I hadn't stopped."

Grammer played psychiatrist Dr Frasier Crane for 20 years on TV show Cheers and his own spin-off series, Frasier which made him, at the time, the highest-paid US TV actor and tied the record for the longest-running role portrayed by a single actor in a prime-time show.
