Sandra Bullock was horrified to lose her bag on a recent night out - but it was returned by a staff member who had accidentally picked it up while clearing her table.

Sandra Bullock was horrified when her bag went missing on a recent night out.

Sandra Bullock 50, reportedly started cursing and screaming when she realised her clutch bag had disappeared from her table while dining in West Hollywood.

A source said: "She screamed, 'Where's my purse?' and screamed 'Oh f**k, what did I do with my purse?'

"Sandra's dinner guests went into a tizzy and immediately started searching the booth they were sitting in and on the floor underneath it.

"The manager came running in and joined them in the search as he tried to calm the distraught star."

However, the whole debacle was quickly smoothed over when an apologetic staff member realised he had mistakenly taken the tiny clutch from the table as he cleared it.

The witness explained: "The guy explained that when he cleared the table and removed the soiled tablecloth he hadn't seen the tiny cocktail purse so it got rolled up and thrown into the dirty linen basket."

And Sandra was so relieved that she even tipped him.

The source told National Enquirer magazine: "Sandra incredibly relieved, told the frazzled busboy not to worry about it - then she opened her bag, retrieved two $20 bills and tipped him."
