Singer Demi Lovato is awake and surrounded by her family in a Los Angeles hospital after a suspected heroin overdose, according to her agent.
The celebrity news website TMZ said police told them the 25-year-old was taken to hospital from her Hollywood home.
The American singer was reportedly treated with Narcan – an emergency treatment for narcotic overdoses.
Paramedics found her unconscious when they arrived at her home.
In a statement, the star's agent said: "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 right now."
The singer, who has struggled with substance abuse for some years, released a song recently called Sober, in which she reveals she had relapsed after she celebrated six years of sobriety in March.
Lyrics in the song include: "Momma, I'm so sorry I'm not sober anymore / And daddy please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor."
I love @DDLovato so much. It breaks my heart that she is going through this. She is a light in this world, and I am sending my love to her and her family.
