The 36-year-old, best known for her role as Samantha Stewart in the ITV wartime drama Foyle's War, went missing on Thursday night.
Sussex police launched a search for her amid concerns for her welfare.
But her sister Perdita Weeks said over Twitter late on Friday evening that she had been found "safe and sound", thanking those who had expressed concern.
Police later confirmed the news, saying: “We can confirm missing Petworh woman Honeysuckle Weeks has been found safe and well, and is with police."
A police statement said Ms Weeks was found at a relative’s address in London at around 7:45pm on Friday.
The relative contacted police to notify them of her appearance and she remained with police until 10:45pm and was later returned to West Sussex.
“We're very grateful to everyone who expressed their concern for Honeysuckle and assisted in our appeal to help find her,” the statement added.
Weeks was last seen in Graylingwell Drive, Chichester, West Sussex, at 9pm on Thursday and was reported missing an hour later.
Police said her recent behaviour had been a concern to family and friends as she had been "feeling anxious".
A statement from detective Kate Witt also said it was "unlike her not to be in touch with family".
Weeks has recently finished working on shooting Lewis for ITV and Sky mystery The Five.
