    News Demi Lovato Suffers Heroin Overdose, Transported to Hospital

    By the TMZ Staff




    Demi Lovato was rushed to an L.A. hospital after suffering what appears to be a heroin overdose ... law enforcement tells TMZ.

    Our sources say Demi was transported from a home in the Hollywood Hills just before noon Tuesday, and is currently being treated. We do not know her condition.

    Demi has fought substance abuse for years ... at one point she lived in a sober living home after getting released from a treatment center. She had been 6 years sober from cocaine.

    Last month she released a song called "Sober" where she revealed she had fallen off the wagon.

    Update Demi Lovato awake and with family after suspected heroin overdose

    By Maane Khatchatourian, Variety




    Demi Lovato was hospitalized on Tuesday in Los Angeles after a suspected heroin overdose.

    A source tells Variety that she is currently in “stable” condition.

    “Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers, and support,” Lovato’s rep said in a statement to Variety. “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.”

    According to law enforcement officials, the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a medical emergency at the 8000 block of Laurel View Drive in the Hollywood Hills, where Lovato’s home is located.

    Law enforcement sources told TMZ, which was first to report the news, that Lovato, who was found unconscious, was treated with Narcan — a medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose — at her home before being transported to a local hospital.

    The “Sorry Not Sorry” singer, 25, has struggled with substance abuse for years. Lovato revealed in June that she had relapsed just months after celebrating six years of sobriety.

    “To the ones who never left me / We’ve been down this road before / I’m so sorry, I’m not sober anymore,” Lovato sings in her recent single “Sober” off of her sixth album, “Tell Me You Love Me.”

    Lovato has received treatment for bipolar disorder, bulimia, and substance abuse. She chronicled her daily struggles with recovery in the 2017 YouTube original documentary “Simply Complicated.” In the movie, Lovato opened up about using cocaine while filming her 2012 doc, “Stay Strong.”

    Lovato, who began her acting career on the popular children’s series “Barney & Friends,” rose to fame on the Disney Channel. She appeared in the short series “As the Bell Rings” and show “Sonny With a Chance,” in addition the hit 2008 Disney Channel Original Movie “Camp Rock,” co-starring with the Jonas Brothers. Lovato said her drinking escalated during her Disney Channel days.

    She had just performed a concert in Paso Robles, Calif., on Sunday.

    Lovato’s show in Atlantic City, N.J., set to take place on Thursday at Atlantic City Beach, was scrapped following her hospitalization. The news was followed by the cancellation of tonight’s episode of the Fox game show “Beat Shazam,” which featured an appearance by Lovato. The episode was taped in April 2017. “In light of recent reports, we have decided to replace the episode of ‘Beat Shazam’ with another all-new episode,” the network in a statement. “Our thoughts go out to Demi and her family.”

    Lovato’s reps did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.

    Why would a heroin overdose turn her into Steve Austin?

    Sorry Not Sorry for my pun, but you should Let It Go, because This Is Me, I Really Don't Care, I'm Confident, and I Wouldn't Change A Thing. Maybe the drugs were a Gift of A Friend... boy that would Ruin The Friendship. Or the whole story is just Smoke and Mirrors...she could have been Lonely or even had a Heart Attack during some Sexy Dirty Love. But Don't Forget, she's a Warrior, Made in the USA... we'll just have to see what her Body Say when we hear from the doctors in La La Land.

    Update Demi Lovato may have used meth at time of overdose

    By Jessica Sager - Page Six




    Sources close to Demi Lovato insist that she did not overdose on heroin, but did overdose on other unspecified drugs.

    One of those substances may have been methamphetamine, according to The Blast.

    Law enforcement sources told the site that illegal drug paraphernalia and drug remnants were found at the “Heart Attack” singer’s Hollywood Hills home when paramedics arrived on Tuesday, though it’s unclear what kinds of drugs were present at the scene as there may not have been enough left for analysis.

    Insiders also claimed that a nurse told police in an incident report that Lovato, 25, used methamphetamine leading up to her overdose.

    It’s unlikely that Lovato overdosed on meth, however, as Narcan, which was reportedly administered at the scene, is used for opioid overdoses, not for overdoses of stimulants.

    The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed to Page Six that emergency personnel were called to Lovato’s block at 11:22 a.m. local time and transported a 25-year-old woman to a nearby hospital afterward.

    TMZ reports that the incident occurred after an all-night party at Lovato’s home and that she refused to divulge what drug she’d overdosed on except to adamantly deny that it was heroin.

    The former Disney star has been open about her struggles with addiction, specifically with cocaine, alcohol and OxyContin, the latter of which can lead to overdoses that can be treated with Narcan.

    She revealed last month in her song “Sober” that she had relapsed after six years of sobriety, but did not go into further detail.

    The singer is said to currently be in stable condition.

    “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’s rep said in a statement Tuesday.

    Lovato will likely not face charges over the incident, The Blast reported, as the incident is not being investigated as a criminal act.

    A rep for Lovato did not immediately return a request for comment.
