Lily Tomlin’s tree-removal work confuses neighbor

Los Angeles police responded to Lily Tomlin’s home today after a neighbor mistakenly accused the actress of chopping down trees on the neighbor’s property, a authorities said.

Officers were called to the 3900 block of Longridge Avenue in Sherman Oaks about 11:20 a.m. following a report of a neighbor dispute, said Officer Jason Lee, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department.

The caller mistakenly said that one of her neighbors, later identified as Tomlin, had workers cutting down dead trees on the caller’s property.

Two officers and sergeant determined that there was no further issue after “reviewing the situation and determining that the trees were within Tomlin’s property,” Lee said.

Tomlin has appeared in such films as “I Heart Huckabees,” “The Beverly Hillbillies” and “Nine to Five.”
