AceShowbiz - Fans were shocked on July 24 after it was reported that Demi Lovato was rushed to the hospital in Los Angeles for a suspected drug overdose. Law enforcement said Demi, who has been open about her struggles with substance abuse for years, was treated with Narcan, an emergency treatment to reverse the effects of a narcotic overdose.
The "Heart Attack" hitmaker was later revealed to be "awake and with her family" following the near-fatal health scare. "Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers and support," her rep said in a statement. "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."
Taking to Instagram to address her condition in August, the "Cool for the Summer" singer said, "I want to thank God for keeping me alive and well," before thanking her fans. "I am forever grateful for all of your love and support throughout this past week and beyond. Your positive thoughts and prayers have helped me navigate through this difficult time. I want to thank my family, my team, and the staff at Cedars-Sinai who have been by my side this entire time. Without them I wouldn't be here writing this letter to all of you."
