What happened to Bill Murray's grandchildren?
On April 12, 2023 actor Bill Murray revealed his grandkids were almost "kidnapped".
The concerned TV star posted a video on social media talking about his daughter's narrow escape while out for a walk near her home in a small village in Essex.
He said his daughter, her partner and their two children were walking in a "little tiny village just around the corner from our little farm".
The children were picking wildflowers and his daughter's partner had stopped to take a call when a black Audi A6 blocked off the road where she was walking.
The driver got out to speak to her and was "very familiar with her and chatting," Billy said.
Billy said his daughter's partner Mick could see the passengers getting out of the car and trying to approach the children, and feared they were about to be "kidnapped".
He claimed there was a passenger and three men in the back of the car, all of Eastern European appearance.
Bill said the family called the police but officers claimed there was nothing they could do because no crime had been committed.

What has Bill Murray said?
In a video posted on TikTok on April 12, 2023, Bill went into detail about what happened.
Speaking to fans he said: " My daughter and my two grandchildren and her partner were out yesterday in a little tiny village just round the corner from our little farm.
"And they were just walking along and picking some wildflowers or whatever and she got kind of separated because a telephone call came for her partner and she just took it and he just stood there for a minute talking.
"A black Audi pulled up in front of her blocking the way she was walking.
"The driver got out and she could see through the screen that there was a passenger and three other guys sat in the back.
"And he walked up to her and he was very familiar with her or whatever, chatting to her.
"He was eastern European. It was a black four-door Audi A6.
"They kept looking at the children and she had this terrible fear, all of a sudden, come over her and she panicked and she called out to Mick.
";He looked over and saw exactly what was happening because the guys in the back and the passenger were getting out of the car to approach the children."
He added: "They were going to kidnap my grandchildren, that's what they assumed anyway.
"Mick yelled and screamed at them to run. As he ran over from the other side of the road they all jumped in the car and squealed off and tyres were burning everything."
Billy warned his viewers "they're still out there".
"It's happening in Basildon and Grays and people are reporting it on Facebook all the time," he said.
