Actor Ryan Reynolds was the victim of a hit-and-run in a hotel parking lot, according to his publicist and Vancouver police.

The incident took place on Friday when the 38-year-old was struck by a car while walking in the residential parking garage of the Shangri-La hotel, but he was left uninjured.

'While walking, Ryan was struck by a paparazzi driving a car through an underground parking garage,' publicist Leslie Sloane said on Sunday. 'The man fled the scene. Ryan is okay.'

In an email, Brian Montague from Vancouver police said the star, who is married to 27-year-old actress Blake Lively, was not injured in Friday's incident. Montague had no further details. 

'Unfortunately I have not been given an update and don't know the outcome or how things have progressed with confirming who the driver is,' Montague told CBC News.

Reynolds who is married to actress Blake Lively became the father of a baby girl, James, in December (the couple pictured together in 2014 while Lively was pregnant with their first child)

Vancouver-born Reynolds, who earlier this year became the father of a baby girl named James, has been in the city over the past several weeks shooting his new film, Deadpool.
