She reportedly was transferred to hospital from her home just before 12 p.m. PST.
Lovato is scheduled to perform in Toronto at Echo Beach on Sunday with Jason Mraz.
She has been vocal about her struggles with sobriety and recently released a song called “Sober” in which Lovato appears to admit to relapsing.
A representative for Demi Lovato says the singer is awake and with her family after she reportedly was hospitalized for an overdose in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
A statement released Tuesday evening thanks the singer’s fans for their support and calls for them to respect the 25-year-old’s privacy. It says Lovato’s “health and recovery” is the most important thing at the moment.
The statement by Lovato’s representative said some of the information reported about the singer’s hospitalization was not accurate, but did not provide additional details.
Celebrities have already begun tweeting out their support for the singer.
