A representative for the Los Angeles Fire Department additionally told the publication they ‘transported a 25-year-old female patient to a local hospital.’

Demi has battled addiction, mental illness and an eating disorder for years. In 2011, the entertainer entered rehab, where she was also treated for bipolar disorder, bulimia, self-harm and addiction. 

Lovato later relapsed after she left the treatment centre, then entered a sober living facility for a year.

Last March, Lovato revealed she celebrated six years of sobriety.
