Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl has filed a $6 million lawsuit against Duane Reade Inc, claiming the pharmacy chain used a picture of her leaving one of its shops in promotional material.

The case was filed in a court in Manhattan, New York, on Wednesday.

Katherine Heigl is famous for her roles in films including Knocked Up and 27 Dresses and also won an Emmy for playing the character of Izzie Stevens in medical drama Grey’s Anatomy.

Duane Reade Inc is yet to give a statement in response.

In documents submitted to the court, Katherine Heigl says she was recently photographed by paparazzi in New York City as she left a Duane Reade pharmacy.

She says the company is exploiting her image for commercial gain despite her objection.

Katherine Heigl’s complaint also says she plans to donate any damages she may receive to a charity that helps animals.

Last year Katherine Heigl was named one of Hollywood’s most overpaid stars, second only to Adam Sandler.

Forbes magazine estimated that for every $1 Katherine Heigl was paid for her 2013 films, she returned $3.50.
