Ezra Miller's legal problems, in a 'flash' 2:25
(CNN) --
Ezra Miller, star of the upcoming DC movie "The Flash," is seeking treatment for issues related to his mental health, according to a statement he provided to CNN through a representative.
"Having recently been through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering from complex mental health issues and have started treatment (which is) ongoing," Miller said.
"I want to apologize to everyone I have alarmed and upset by my past behavior."

Miller, who is non-binary and uses the they/them pronouns, added: "I am committed to doing the work necessary to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life."
Miller's statement comes after a series of legal problems that have kept him in the headlines and with his future on the big screen in question.
In March, authorities arrested Miller in Hilo, Hawaii, and he was charged with disorderly conduct and harassment following an incident at a bar, according to the Hawaii County Sheriff's Department.

Miller posted $500 bail and was released, according to local police.
On April 19, he pleaded not guilty and was fined $500 on the disorderly conduct charge, court records show, and the stalking charge was dismissed.
That same day, Miller was arrested for assault following an incident at a private residence in the Puna district near the city of Pāhoa, according to the Hawaii Police Department.
No charges have been filed related to that incident.
And on Aug. 9, Miller was cited for felony burglary after allegedly stealing alcohol from a home in Stamford, Vermont, while the owners were away, according to a state police news release.
Miller is scheduled to appear in Vermont Superior Court on September 26 to be charged with theft, according to the statement.
In light of the incidents, Warner Bros, the studio behind "The Flash" — which like CNN is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery — has been asked about Miller's future in the role of the iconic character.

During a meeting earlier this month, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav praised "The Flash" along with other projects, saying, "We're very excited about them."
This came after months of petitions from comic book enthusiasts for Miller to be replaced in the film by Grant Gustin, who portrays Barry Allen/The Flash in a series for the CW, for which Warner Bros. Discovery is also co-owner
That series will conclude with its brand new ninth season.
Miller last appeared on the big screen in "Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore's Secrets," which was released in April.
