LOS ANGELES, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- U.S. television star Tisha Campbell-Martin says she is being treated for sarcoidosis, but not dying from the lung disease as some media reports suggested.

The mother of two and 42-year-old actress -- whose small-screen credits include "Martin," "My Wife and Kids," "Everybody Hates Chris" and "Rita Rocks" -- said she was diagnosed with sarcoidosis about 10 years ago.

"Thank you, everyone, for your concern," Campbell-Martin said in a statement issued to People.com Wednesday.

"However, no worry is needed," she said. "I was diagnosed with a lung disorder that some people walk around with and don't even know they have. Through early diagnosis I'm happy to share that I stay healthy with diet and exercise."

Campbell-Martin will soon be seen in the Lifetime police drama "Exit 19."
