Gary Coleman suffered a seizure on the set of "The Insider" and received immediate treatment from Dr. Drew Pinsky of VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew,” who was sitting next to him at the time, according to the show.

"The Insider" says on its Web site that Coleman was transported to a local hospital in stable condition.

A publicist for "The Insider" declined to say what the former child television star was doing on the entertainment program and referred inquiries to the show's Web site.

Coleman walked off “The Insider” during a visit to the show earlier this month. He was being interviewed about his arrest in Utah last year on domestic violence charges when he blew up, telling the attorney questioning him to “drown herself in the ocean” before he stormed off the set.

Coleman, 42, is best known for his stint on "Diff'rent Strokes." The television show aired from 1978 to 1986.

Last month, the actor was briefly hospitalized in L.A. after he suffered what he called "seizure activity."

Coleman was born with failed kidneys and underwent two transplants before the age of 14. At one stage in his life, he underwent dialysis four times a day in order to survive. But it's unclear if his recent seizures are kidney-related.
