"Riverdale" and "90210" star Luke Perry is currently under observation at a California hospital, ABC News has confirmed with the actor's rep.

The cause of the hospitalization was not yet confirmed.

Perry currently stars as Fred Andrews on CW's "Riverdale," a successful take on the famous Archie Comics stories, but his claim to fame was "Beverly Hills, 90210," where he played teen heartthrob Dylan McKay.

Fox recently announced that "90210" is coming back with much of the original cast, but it's not clear if Perry had signed on for the project.

Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling are all returning for the six-episode series, airing this summer, which is called "90210."
