O'Donnell's former wife Michelle Rounds, whom
she was married to from 2012 to 2015, was found dead at her home
earlier this week, celebrity news publication TMZ.com said.
"I am saddened to hear about this terrible tragedy. Mental
illness is a very serious issue affecting many families. My
thoughts and prayers go out to Michelle's family, her wife
Krista, and their child," O'Donnell said in a statement.
O'Donnell and Rounds were married in a hospital ceremony in
2012, while Rounds was being treated for benign tumors and
shortly after O'Donnell had suffered a heart attack.
The couple divorced in 2015 and were engaged in a custody battle
over their then 2-year-old daughter Dakota. O'Donnell said last
year that she had sole custody of their daughter.
