Priyanka and Jonas Bros send prayers for Demi
Wishes poured in for singer Demi Lovato, following the news of her being rushed to the hospital on Tuesday for a suspected drug overdose. Actor Priyanka Chopra prayed for her speedy recovery, and wrote on Twitter: “Strength and prayers. Demi Lovato. Pray for Demi.” Priyanka’s rumoured boyfriend, singer Nick Jonas, also tweeted his prayer for Lovato and called her a “fighter”. He posted: “Like all of you I am reeling at the news about Demi. All of us love her and need to pray for her to get well. She is a fighter. Pray for Demi.” Nick’s elder brother, Joe Jonas, who dated Demi Lovato in 2010, wrote: “Like all of you I am thinking of @DDLovato right now. She needs our prayers and support. We all know how strong you are Demi. #prayfordemi.”
Other Hollywood celebrities, such as Ellen DeGeneres, Lily Allen, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian West, Sam Smith, and Bruno Mars have sent in love and “get well soon” wishes to Lovato via social media.
TMZ initially cited law enforcement sources saying that it appeared to be a “heroin overdose”. But a source close to the 25-year-old singer later denied it. She was out on Monday night celebrating a friend’s birthday in West Hollywood. She also posted photos on Instagram of herself and others in the group.
As per sources, Lovato was moved from her home in the Hollywood Hills just before noon on Tuesday. Paramedics found her unconscious when they arrived at her home. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Lovato was treated with Narcan, an emergency treatment for narcotic overdoses, at her home.
Lovato has fought substance abuse for years. At one point, she lived in a sober living home after release from a treatment centre. For six years, she had been sober from alcohol and drugs. In June, she released a song called Sober, where she revealed that she had fallen off the wagon.
