It follows Tanya being reported missing by a friend after she left her apartment at the Hollywood Bowl without her mobile phone and her purse.
She had last been seen on Thursday in the Santa Monica Boulevard area in Los Angeles.
Her disappearance caused a nerve-wracking search by her family, who are based in the UK, who tried to jet over to the US to aid in the search.
Mum Yvonne had strived to obtain a temporary visa in order to fly over to Los Angeles amid the crisis.
The actress was spotted at a Trader Joe’s in Santa Monica, California, on Sunday.
Tanya’s mum had previously said: “I am devastated about this situation and I appeal to anyone with information to please come forward to bring out daughter back safely.”
