Pop star Demi Lovato has been taken to a Los Angeles hospital due to a suspected overdose, according to US media reports.

Lovato, 25, has previously spoken openly about cocaine and alcohol abuse.

Representatives for Lovato did not respond to a request for comment but People magazine, quoting an unidentified source, reported she was "OK and stable".

TMZ, quoting law enforcement sources, reported Lovato was found unconscious at her home and was treated with Narcan, an emergency treatment for suspected opioid and drug overdoses.

Los Angeles police said they had responded to a medical emergency involving a woman on the Hollywood Hills street where Lovato reportedly has a home, but declined to name the person.

Lovato released a song last month called Sober in which she sang: "Momma, I'm so sorry, I'm not sober anymore, and Daddy, please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor, to the ones who never left me, we've been down this road before, I'm so sorry, I'm not sober anymore."

The singer rose to fame on Disney Channel shows Camp Rock and Sonny with a Chance 10 years ago, and forged a pop career with hits like Skyscraper and Sorry Not Sorry.

In a 2017 YouTube documentary, Simply Complicated, Lovato spoke about years of substance abuse, eating disorders, and drinking, saying she first started using cocaine when she was 17.

She entered rehab at the age of 18, where she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Lovato, who has 69 million followers on Instagram, was in the midst of a US tour and due to perform in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Thursday.

Her reported hospitalisation became the top trending item on Twitter on Tuesday, with fans and celebrities expressing concern and support.

I don't blame her. Heroin is a really euphoric drug and if you're in a depressive state, manic or even just want to mellow out and stay energetic for a busy schedule, I can dig it. I know why I used to do it.

I wonder if she was shooting or just happened to get fentanyl laced stuff, or just took too much, wondering. Quite curious. Hope she's well. She seems like a decent human being.

Maybe she'll get some help and hopefully isn't totally addicted to heroin like I was.
 
i agree totally

I don't really try to get into celebrities lives that much....but i feel for her because I and I am sure a lot of people here have been in the same position as her. She just happens to have the whole frickin world watching her every move. Maybe thats why stars always end up dying too early. We dont need another member of the 27 club. Amy was hard enough and i didnt even realize how good her music was until she died. The only person who i really understook was Kurt Cobain.... I was only 10 or 11 when he died but i got bleach, nevermind, and in utero before he died. I didnt understand it except from what my mom told me. The truth is we are all humans and it could happen to anybody. Its sad.
 
I wish she would use her platform to advocate to increase drug treatment providing, instead of increasing prison sentences for drug use.

She's lucky she will never be arrested and especially never convicted for her drug use. The other millions of people that are addicted are dealing with a horrible system set for them to fail

Courtney Love ended up in court like once or twice for vicodin possession.

Lovato might end up there too. Maybe not, I'm guessing because she's considerably hotter and less trashy from a 3rd party perspective.
 
IMO, folks like her are well compensated for a very good reason. Living in this day and age, with the scrutiny coming by the second, it's outright brutal. You can keep the money, I wouldn't want to live a life like that for any amount of money. And I realize that people fight like crazy to be the next "whoever", just not me!
