“Crocodile Dundee” star Paul Hogan<\/a>‘s son has been arrested for his involvement in a reported domestic disturbance, Fox News Digital has confirmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Friday, law enforcement was called to the actor’s Venice Beach residence around 10:30 a.m. in response to a possible domestic violence situation involving his 27-year-old son, Chance, per the New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the outlet, Paul and an unidentified woman spoke with law enforcement upon arrival. Chance had allegedly left the scene before officers arrived.<\/p>\n

Chance reportedly has a long history of mental health<\/a> issues.<\/p>\n

Just last year, the 27-year-old posted a video to social media begging for “someone to kill me,” according to the New York Post.<\/p>\n

Sources told Woman\u2019s Day<\/a> that Paul is reeling from his son’s arrest.<\/p>\n

“Paul\u2019s tired. At 86 he just doesn\u2019t need to be dealing with this,” the source told the outlet, explaining that he remains committed to getting Chance “the help he needs”, but there have to be “new boundaries.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As a dad, it\u2019s devastating \u2013 unless Chance is cleared or the charges are dropped, it\u2019s going to stay on his record forever,” the source added. “It\u2019s a very serious situation that Paul\u2019s desperate to keep private. But he\u2019s beating himself up over it and feels like he failed his son in some way.”<\/p>\n
