Update 2: Earlier Tuesday, Demi Lovato was rushed to the hospital near her Hollywood Hills home. Per TMZ, law enforcement officials initially said the pop star had suffered an apparent heroin overdose. She was reportedly treated with Narcan (an emergency drug for opioid overdoses) prior to being transported to the medical facility.
Tuesday evening, TMZ provided an update. According to the publication, a source close to Lovato says that heroin was not involved. The source would not further elaborate on what led to Lovato’s hospitalization.
It later reported that Lovato, herself, would not tell paramedics what drug caused the incident. No substances were seized from her home, and there will be no associated criminal investigation.
Lovato, who was unconscious when paramedics arrived at her home, is responsive and recovering in the hospital.
“Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everytone for the love, prayers and support. Some of the information being reported is incorrect and they respectfully ask for privacy,” said Lovato’s representative in a statement to TMZ.
