She's ready to get help.
Demi Lovato will leave LA to undergo rehab at an undisclosed location after her release from the hospital, Radar reports.
Her family want her far away from any "triggers" she could encounter in the City of Angels, so she can focus on her recovery from drugs and alcohol.
"She won’t be going to a rehab where she would receive a lot of attention,†a source dished to the site.
Meanwhile, her ex Wilmer Valderamma is "shocked" by the news of her struggles, as he was unaware how dire things really were.
"He knew she was going through a tough time but he wasn’t prepared for this. He saw her through so many ups and downs and was her rock through some of her darkest moments. To see her back in such a sad and vulnerable place is heartbreaking for him," a source told People.
"[Wilmer] always cared deeply for her and they truly remained friends after they broke up. Demi always hoped they would end up back together in the future. He’s the love of her life and vice versa," the source added.
The good news in all of this mess? The "Skyscraper" songstress won't face any charges, as the LAPD has decided to not pursue an investigation, and her endorsement deals with companies like Fabletics aren't going anywhere, as are her millions of fans and celebrity friends.
"We are deeply saddened to hear the news about our friend Demi Lovato, who has inspired so many of us throughout her journey. We send her our love and support as she finds the strength to recover," Fabletics said in a statement.
Hopefully this is the start of a new, sober life for her!

Serious babe alert on set!
Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt have thrown themselves into filming their upcoming movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and we caught them shooting some scenes in a car together yesterday. We barely recognized them with these vintage looks!
Anways, back to the Charles Manson thriller... it also stars Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate, as well as Dakota Fanning, Al Pacino, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds.
"It's a story that takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippy Hollywood. The two lead characters are Rick Dalton (DiCaprio), former star of a Western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Pitt). Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor … Sharon Tate," director Quentin Tarantino previously explained of the premise.

Are we the only ones that think this guy is the absolute worst?!
Tristan Thompson and some of his buddies grabbed lunch at The Ivy in Beverly Hills yesterday afternoon, and we asked the basketball star if he plans to propose to Khloe Kardashian on his way out of the restaurant. He decided to stay quiet, which we guess is better than telling us the sad truth.
Apparently, the NBA star wants out of his miserable relationship, and is desperate to put some distance between himself and his baby mama.

Demi Lovato was using meth in the days leading up to her scary overdose, The Blast reports.
Police found paraphernalia and drug remnants at her Hollywood Hills home while responding to the 911 call, and a nurse from the hospital told the outlet that meth was found in the singer's system.
It's still unclear what specific drug triggered the overdose itself, though. Narcan, a drug used to counteract the effects of opioid overdose, was used on the chart topper, which would lead to the conclusion that it was either heroin or painkillers or some other opioid-derived substance.
The 26-year-old has been open about her battles with addiction, mental illness, self-harm, and eating disorders, and she previously admitted to abusing OxyContin, along with cocaine and alcohol.
The pop star reportedly refused to tell emergency responders what she had taken as they transported her to Cedars-Sinai medical center in LA.
J.Lo celebrated her 49th birthday yesterday with boyfriend A-Rod, her kids, and some pals, and the singer shared this pic of their group on the beach. Jenny from the Block's bikini body and abs are downright insane! What are her secrets? We guess all those years of healthy living and not drinking have paid off.
We kind of assumed the MLB legend would pop the question to his lady love on her special day, but he seems to have let the milestone come and go without a rock.
A source tells X17:
"Jennifer's not worried about Alex proposing. She knows it will happen and that he's The One, she's more so just anxious to be able to call him her fiance. She's very traditional, and she thinks having a "husband" is the sexiest thing ever. She's getting tired of calling him her boyfriend because they're so much more than that at this point, but it's not like she's concerned their relationship doesn't have a future. She knows she'll be Mrs. A-Rod eventually."
We wouldn't be dragging our feet if we were him... look at her!

Give it up guys, we know you're together!
Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons grabbed dinner at Craig's last night, and they made their best attempt to sneak out the back door undetected after their meal. If you don't want to be photographed, why go to the biggest hot spot in Hollywood?!
Kenny and the baller have been keeping their romance low-key, but it sounds like things are getting more serious.
"She’s being very private about her relationship with Ben. Kendall’s really different from her sisters in that sense. She honestly doesn’t want people talking about who she’s dating and is very protective of her personal life. She hates the attention and it’s been annoying that the drama with Tinashe has come up," a source dished to People.
"Things are definitely heating up though and she’s having a good time with him. She’s excited to spend the summer with Ben. Over the last year, she also slowed down some of her work and took a break from the runway. She deals with a lot of anxiety and needed a breather. That kind of traveling really takes a toll on her, but she’s been feeling good," the source added.
We wonder if Ben will make an appearance on KUWTK?

New details are coming to light.
Demi Lovato overdosed after an all-night party at her Hollywood Hills home, following a night out at Saddle Ranch bar for her backup dancer's birthday, TMZ reports.
The singer was found unconscious just before noon, and at that point all the "friends" at her house had vanished, leaving just a member or two of her remaining team to call an ambulance.
Apparently, the songstress had been on a slippery downward spiral with drugs for weeks, and some of her closest pals saw this coming as her relapse carried on longer and longer. Others, though, say they saw no warning signs in the days leading up to the incident.
It's been widely reported that she overdosed on heroin, but multiple sources are saying that tid bit is inaccurate. If we had to guess, painkillers are the culprit of this unfortunate set of circumstances.
"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," her rep said in a statement to news outlets.

It's even worse than we thought.
Demi Lovato was hospitalized for a heroin overdose just after noon today in LA, TMZ reports. The troubled singer was transported from a home in the Hollywood Hills after being found unconscious, and is currently receiving treatment. Details of her condition are not known at this time, so we really hope she's OK and makes it through.
The chart topper came clean about her relapse with drugs and alcohol in June in her new song "Sober," but reports claimed that she was working on regaining her sobriety following the confession.
The 25-year-old has a long history with mental health issues and substance abuse. She's been in and out of rehabs for cocaine, eating disorders, self-harm, and bipolar disorder, but she managed to stay clean for over six years up until last month.
Celebrities are already taking to social media to react to the sad news. "I love @DDLovato so much. It breaks my heart that she is going through this. She is a light in this world, and I am sending my love to her and her family," Ellen Degeneres tweeted. "i love u @ddlovato," Ariana Grande added. "Poor beautiful spirit @ddlovato I hope she’s ok, and that she makes a full recovery soon," Lily Allen wrote.
Just 22 hours ago, she posted this photo of her new blonde hairdo on Instagram. We guess things aren't always what they seem!
UPDATE: People reports that Demi is now in "stable" condition after being revived with Narcan.
