Singer Alexa Ray Joel "is going to be fine," her dad, Billy Joel, told Newsday late Saturday, People reports.
Alexa was rushed to the hospital Saturday afternoon in New York after taking an unknown number of pills. [Updated 7:15 a.m. Sunday: Alexa has been released from the hospital.]
Medics had rushed to the 23-year-old's apartment in response to a female caller's 911 call. Reports from the New York Post indicated police considered it to have been a suicide attempt but that was not confirmed by a spokeswoman for the family.
"Alexa is stable. Her doctors are assessing her needs, and that's all we can say at this moment," said Claire Mercuri, Alexa's and Billy's personal publicist.
Alexa was scheduled to perform two shows Dec. 10 in New York. Her mother is Christie Brinkley.

Warning: A putatively heartwarming dramatic comedy like “Everybody’s Fine” can be hazardous to your health. The queasiness produced by this sentimental weepie builds into a wave of nausea during its interminable finale, in which a family with the usual array of problems and disappointments (I refuse to use the term “dysfunctional” anymore) reunites for Christmas, all lovey-dovey.
