This comes after the Beverly Hills, 90210 star “looked visibly distraught” as she was seen walking towards the house she was renting during the police incident.
Spelling is mother of five children with her estranged husband Dean McDermott, 56 – Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, six. McDermott is also father to 24-year-old son Jack, whom he shares with his ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace, 61.
Spelling, whose estranged husband McDermott was spotted showing PDA with new girlfriend Lily Calo, 32, in Los Angeles earlier this week, was eventually evacuated from the home with her children, onlookers said.
According to observers, a man armed with an AR-15 was barricaded in a neighboring home and threatened to shoot the hostage and police officers.
Observers said Spelling was pictured behind yellow crime tape during a two-hour standoff that ended with the suspect in custody and no one was injured.
In the picture, officers led a handcuffed man wearing a white T-shirt and blue gym shorts as the tense standoff came to an end.
Spelling wore a bright yellow graphic T-shirt with blue jeans with suspenders, a black knit hat and oversized brown sunglasses. During the standoff, she was seen chatting with neighbors and making phone calls.

Spelling had not alerted her 1.7 million Instagram followers to the tumultuous chain of events on her Instagram account until early Wednesday evening. Her most recent post this morning documented a trip she took with her kids to Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights.
She said: “Thank you @unistudios for our annual family tradition of attending @horrornights… we had the best time!”
McDermott was pictured on Tuesday dropping off her new friend Calo at LAX airport and helping her retrieve her luggage from her vehicle as she was scheduled to board a flight. The new couple was pictured holding hands while visiting the Department of Social Services West Valley in Chatsworth, California last week.
Wednesday’s tense events marked the culmination of a difficult year for Spelling, who has struggled with unsafe living conditions, physical illnesses, money problems and love problems following her split from McDermott after 17 years.

Spelling, who split from McDermott in June, was seen in August with her five children at a mobile home park in Ventura County, California. The family was previously seen staying at a $100-a-night motel in Ventura County.
Spelling left a rental home where she and her children had been staying in May because of what she said was an ongoing mold problem that was negatively impacting the family’s health.
The litany of hard breaks marks a reversal of fortune for Spelling, who grew up in the luxury of Hollywood as her late father Aaron Spelling starred in hit shows like “Dynasty,” “Charlie’s Angels” and “The Love Boat” as well as “Melrose Place,” “Charmed ” and “Beverly” produced Hill, 90210.
Aaron left a $500 million empire, Tori’s inheritance was $800,000.
She has had a complicated relationship with her mother, Candy, over the years: Aaron Spelling died in June 2006, less than a year after Tori made headlines in 2005 for her extramarital affair with McDermott while both were married; her to Charlie Shahnaian and McDermott to Eustace.
She and McDermott eloped in Fiji in May 2006, just a month before Aaron’s death.
In her 2008 book sTORI Telling, Tori said that her family was disappointed by her elopement with McDermott and that mother and daughter had spoken publicly about their complicated relationship in recent years.
While things appear to be on good terms – Tori wished her mother a happy birthday last month – it wasn’t immediately clear whether Candy has offered to help her daughter financially during her recent struggles.
Tori appeared to be recovering after spending several days in the hospital with an undisclosed illness over the summer when she entered a medical facility on August 17.

On August 20, she posted a picture of her hospital bracelet on social media while praising her children. She said at the time: “Grateful and so proud of my strong, brave, resilient and kind children who stay positive no matter what comes our way.”
Before her hospitalization, Spelling was seen working on a project in Los Angeles.
A source told earlier this month that Spelling is having “some money problems” and is therefore looking to return to the reality TV genre.
“Tori is in a bit of a pickle right now and is trying to figure out what her next job will be,” the source said. “After the strike goes into effect, she wants to get even more involved in the world of reality competition shows.”
