Demi Lovato ‘Stable’ After Rushed to Hospital For Reported Overdose: ‘Awake & Responsive’

Demi Lovato was reportedly rushed to the hospital in LA after allegedly overdosing on heroin, and is now in stable condition. We have more details here.

UPDATE 3: More details about the hours leading up to Demi Lovato’s alleged overdose are coming out two days after she was reportedly found unconscious at her Hollywood Hills home. One of her assistants called 911 after she was unable to wake the 25-year-old up, according to a TMZ report. Sources claim that Demi went to bed at 11am that day after a long night of partying on Sunset Boulevard. She allegedly invited friends back to her home after they were out celebrating the birthday of a backup dancer. Insiders claim that Demi was still unconscious by the time the paramedics arrived. They then reportedly revived her with Narcan, the antidote to an opioid overdose and she was rushed to hospital.

UPDATE 2: Demi Lovato did not suffer a heroin overdose, a source close to the singer is now telling TMZ. Hours after revealing that the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer was hospitalized on July 24, the site claimed a source close to the former Disney star said initial reports that her health crisis was an apparent heroin overdose are untrue. However, the person would not say what Demi overdosed on.

UPDATE 1: Demi is reportedly in a stable condition, according to a source who spoke to our sister site, Variety. Her aunt, Kerissa Dunn, also posted on social media that Demi is “awake and responsive.”

ORIGINAL: Demi Lovato, according to law enforcement sources who spoke to TMZ, was reportedly rushed to the hospital after being found unconscious in her Hollywood Hills home before noon local time on Tuesday, July 24. The singer is currently being treated for what allegedly appears to be a heroin overdose. She was reportedly given Narcan, an emergency treatment for narcotic overdoses, at her home before being taken to the hospital. Her condition is unknown at this time.

Demi has been sober for six years after admitting to an addiction to alcohol, cocaine, and Oxycontin for many years. She released a new song called “Sober” in June, in which she revealed that she had fallen off the wagon.

She sang “Sober” for the first time live at Rock in Rio in Lisbon on June 24, and it was an incredibly raw and emotional performance. Her voice caught as she belted the song from behind her piano, singing, ““I’m sorry for the fans I lost, who watched me fall again, I wanna be a role model, but I’m only human.” Demi never revealed when she relapsed, what substances she used, or if she was getting treatment again.

She had slammed a fan who accused her of relapsing on Instagram in April after seeing a photo of her holding a glass. She said that it was only Red Bull. Demi had just performed with Iggy Azalea on Sunday, July 22 at the California Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles; she has a show scheduled in Atlantic City, New Jersey later this week. This story is still developing. We will update when more information about Demi’s condition becomes available.
