Citing law enforcement officials, TMZ reported on Tuesday that pop singer Demi Lovato, 25, has been rushed to a Los Angeles hospital from her home in Hollywood Hills. 

According to TMZ's Lovato was given Narcan, a drug used to reverse the effects of opioid overdoses. According to TMZ, the drug was reportedly administered prior to her being transported to the hospital.

Lovato celebrated six years of sobriety in a Twitter post in March. 

"Just officially turned 6 years sober. So grateful for another year of joy, health and happiness. It IS possible," Lovato tweeted.
