(RNN) – Demi Lovato was hospitalized in Los Angeles on Tuesday for a drug overdose, CNN reports.

Multiple outlets cited Los Angeles police confirming that they responded to an emergency call at the Hollywood Hills block Lovato lives on, for a woman Lovato’s age.

CNN confirmed it was Lovato, citing a source close to her family.

Citing law enforcement sources, TMZ reported she was treated at the scene with Narcan, an emergency treatment for narcotics overdoses.

A representative for Lovato released a statement Tuesday evening, saying that she was awake and recovering with family.

"Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers and support," the representative said. "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 representative didn't give details on what led to Lovato's hospitalization.

CNN had earlier reported that a senior law enforcement official said Lovato is being treated at Cedar Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The official said she's "stable, conscious and breathing," according to CNN.

A source also told Variety that Lovato is now in "stable" condition.

Lovato, 25, has been open about her struggles with addiction and mental health issues. In a song released last month, titled “Sober,” she sang about withdrawal and indicated she had relapsed, after celebrating six years of sobriety in March.

She lived in a recovery home for a spell after going to rehab in 2011.

She had tweeted earlier in the day that she was scheduled to appear on the Fox game show "Beat Shazam" on Tuesday night. Fox said it would pull the episode from its Tuesday schedule.
