Bloom told CNN's Brian Selter that she was told attorneys from 21st Century Fox would conduct an investigation about Walsh's complaint.
The company released a statement announcing its decision: "21st Century Fox investigates all complaints and we have asked the law firm Paul Weiss to continue assisting the company in these serious matters".
Although he is uninformed about the situation O'Reilly is in, he says he just had a "loose hunch", adding that "I'm more familiar with this case than, say ... health care".
Last Wednesday, Bloom and Walsh filmed themselves while calling Fox's corporate hotline to file a complaint, they later posted it on YouTube. The women who accepted settlements did so in return for their silence, but according to the New York Times, the rude behavior and verbal abuse O'Reilly allegedly directed at Walsh were characteristic of the sexual harassment suits against him.
"Dr. Walsh is not seeking any money", Bloom said.
Fox News has been engulfed by a flurry of negative headlines in recent days, with allegations also surfacing from contributor Julie Roginsky, who became the latest woman to file a sexual harassment lawsuit against former Fox News CEO and Chairman Roger Ailes. He has denied all the allegations.
The actor played both the US President and O'Reilly in a split-screen sketch which addressed the news anchor's sexual harassment allegations.

The specifications are attractive, and there went the burn in the fame that came up after the blast of Samsung Note 7. As promised, T-Mobile has begun shipping out the Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone to those who preordered the handset.
Meanwhile, about 60 companies have pulled advertising from "The O'Reilly Factor" in the wake of the report.
O'Reilly also welcomed a surprise guest - the man who came to his defence this week - as Trump, (also played by Baldwin) joined the show.
Fox News, the top-rated cable news network, has faced heightened scrutiny of its workplace climate after sexual harassment allegations led to the resignation of founding Chairman Roger Ailes previous year. Trump had openly declared that O'Reilly did nothing wrong and shouldn't have settled with his accusers during an interview with The New York Times.
"I actually see a lot of myself in you, Bill", Baldwin's Trump said.
Walsh is one of several women who have made claims of sexual harassment against O'Reilly.
When compared to the same week in 2016, O'Reilly's primetime program was up 28 percent in total viewers and 42 percent in the key demographic that advertisers covet most, according to Nielsen Research.
