Earlier this week it was reported that superstar singer Demi Lovato was rushed to hospital following a suspected drug overdose. Since the shock news, Demi's fans and celebrity friends such as Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes and Ellen DeGeneres have tweeted their support, but they aren't the only ones.

According to new reports by PEOPLE, Demi's ex-boyfriend of six years, Wilmer Valderrama, paid the singer a visit in hospital. The publication reports that Wilmer rushed to Demi's hospital bedside on Wednesday night after being 'shocked' by the news.

Demi and Wilmer previously dated for six years, after confirming their romance in 2010. However, in June 2016, the pair announced their split on Instagram in a joint statement.

A source close to Wilmer told PEOPLE, “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.”

News of Demi's suspected overdose first broke on Monday evening (23rd July), with TMZ originally reporting the news. Demi was found unconscious by paramedics at her home in the Hollywood Hills, with the singer being rushed to hospital.

The 'Skyscraper' singer's spokesperson has since said, "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."

Demi has battled alcohol and drug abuse in the past but had remained sober since her stint in rehab back over six years ago, bravely opening up about her tough times.

The singer recently released a song called 'Sober' in which she revealed that she had broken her six years sobriety from alcohol and drugs. The track, released on 21st June, includes lyrics such as, "Mama, I'm so sorry I'm not sober anymore, and daddy please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor."

She also sings, "And I'm sorry for the fans I lost who watched me fall again, I wanna be a role model, but I'm only human."

We wish Demi a speedy recovery. ❤️
