Demi Lovato Reportedly Suffers Heroin Overdose

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Singer Demi Lovato reportedly suffered a heroin overdose at her home in the Hollywood Hills. According to TMZ, which first broke the story, Lovato was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital for treatment.

Her condition is reportedly stable. The singer has been famously open about her struggle with addiction since she became sober six years ago. However, last month the singer seemingly admitted to falling back into drug use with her gut-wrenching release "Sober."

Late Tuesday afternoon, a representative for Lovato issued a statement that read, "Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers and support. Some of the information being reported is incorrect and they respectfully ask for privacy and not speculation as her health and recovery is the most important thing for us now."

According to TMZ, Lovato was transported from her home in the Hollywood Hills just before noon Tuesday after paramedics found her unconscious. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that officers responded at 11:40 a.m. to the 8000 block of Laurel View Drive in Hollywood for a medical emergency. However, the department would not confirm the nature of the emergency nor the name of the victim.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ Lovato was given the emergency overdose treatment Narcan after she spent the night Monday celebrating a friend's birthday in West Hollywood. The celebration was posted to her private Instagram account, TMZ reported.

A former Disney Channel actress' Lovato's struggles with addiction and bipolar disorder have been part tabloid fodder and part inspiration for others struggling to overcome their battles with drugs and mental illness. Her battles were recounted last year in a YouTube documentary titled "Demi Lovato: Simply Complicated."

A host of celebrities posted message on Twitter in support of Lovato, including Ellen DeGeneres, Ariana Grande, Meghan Trainor, Brad Paisley and Emmy Rossum.

"My friend (Lovato) is one of the kindest, most talented people I've ever met," Paisely wrote. "Praying for her right now, addiction is a terrifying disease. There is no one more honest or brave than this woman."
