It Runs in The Family, Tatum O'Neal Speaks Out on Father and Half-Brother's Drug Bust

"I'm really worried about Redmond. I want them both to get better and get the help they need â€" especially my brother."

Tatum, 44, was herself arrested in New York on June 1 for trying to buy cocaine (she eventually pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct).

"[Addiction] runs in families. It's a disease," she adds. " I'm praying for both of them. I'm praying for my whole family. I hope Red will get treatment. That's what he needs. There is hope for Redmond. He deserves to have the life a [young man] â€" going to school, hanging out with friends, getting a job. I wish the best for him."

Ryan O'Neal, 67, and his son, Redmond, 23, were arrested Wednesday at the actor's Malibu, Calif., home after substances believed to be methamphetamines were found.

"Upon searching the premises, the younger O'Neal was found in possession of narcotics. Later, a vial of drugs was found in the elder O'Neal's bedroom. We believe the drugs found were methamphetamines."

Hours later, Ryan and Redmond posted $10,000 bail each and were released from custody.
