After the Flaming Lips issued a plea on social media for help finding the missing daughter of instrumentalist Steven Drozd, the teen has been found safe.
In an initial post to social media on Oct. 7, the band announced the 16-year-old, named Charlotte "Bowie" Drozd, was missing.
"URGENT!!! Please help if you can !!! Steven’s daughter ( she is 16 years old ) is missing!" the post reads. "She was last seen at the Space Needle early on Saturday."
The image of the post was a missing poster for Charlotte and included details of her appearance — the 5'7" teen has brown hair and eyes — and that she was believed to be possibly headed to Seattle's downtown at the time of her disappearance.
In a tweet to his personal account, Drozd added that Charlotte was "last seen on the monorail."

The SPD post had more information, including what Charlotte was wearing when she vanished. The teen was last seen in khaki-colored shorts and pink shoes in the 400 block of Broad Street by the Space Needle.
