Demi Lovato, 22, was rushed to hospital on Tuesday.

The actress was taken to the Providence Tarzana Medical Center by a friend on Tuesday after suffering “significant trouble” breathing, a source told gossip website TMZ.

Demi is said to have been prescribed medication by a doctor after she was found to have a “flu-related” lung infection, and an insider told the publication she was also given an antibiotic known as Z-Pak.

She was thought to still be in the medical facility yesterday afternoon and her admittance meant she had to cancel a recording session for her new album with a “big producer”.

The star has previously spoken out about a “dark period” in her life when she self-harmed, battled depression and eating disorders, and ended up in rehab.
