Demi Lovato's fans have rallied together to share their personal stories of #HowDemiSavedMe. On Tuesday (July 24), TMZ reported that the superstar was hospitalized for an apparent overdose.
A representative for Lovato has since released the statement below:
"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 25-year-old celebrated six years of sobriety back in March. Lovato revealed her truth and sadly announced she had relapsed in June with the release of her latest track, "Sober."

I've suffered from mental illness. eating disorder. self harm. and addiction. I don't know where I would be today if I didn't have Demi Lovato in my life. She's helped me for YEARS when no else bothered to check on me. She did with her words and music. #HowDemiHasHelpedMe
