Long-time host Harrison has released an exclusive statement to Good Morning America, reports ABC News.  

"The safety and care of the cast and crew of our show is of the utmost importance to us. It is with this thought in mind that we made the decision to suspend filming."

"Out of respect to all involved, there's only so much I can and will say at this time. Normally with a situation like this I would not say anything until the incident is fully resolved, but with all the rumours and misinformation being put out there I don't find that to be possible anymore," read the statement. 

He went on to urge viewers to be patient while the case is being investigated by Warner Bros and apologised to fans for any disappointment caused.
