23-year-old Joel was released from St. Vincent’s Hospital and is now reportedly staying with her father while she recovers, according to her publicist. Billy Joel released a statement over the weekend saying his daughter was “going to be fine.” Alexa Ray Joel is the daughter of singer Billy Joel and ex-wife Christie Brinkley.
 
Whether the pill overdose was accidental or a suicide attempt still remains unclear. However, Joel allegedly told a 911 operator she “Took pills. Want to die,” according to the New York Post. A message from the 911 dispatcher to EMS responders reportedly stated: “Female caller. Took eight pills. Wants to die. Now feels funny. Wants to live.”

According to a report by People, Joel may have been upset over an argument with a boyfriend. Whatever the cause, we hope she gets better soon and find the help she needs.

Some reports allege 23-year-old Alexa Ray Joel overdosed on sleeping pills in an apparent suicide attempt. The details of the incident, however, remain sketchy. Another source told People magazine Joel had responded badly to a homeopathic medication. “She became worried about breathing, which is why 911 was called,” the unidentified source told the tabloid.

Joel was taken to the ER after her roommate called 911 and said the singer was having difficulty breathing. Joel has now been released from the hospital. Billy Joel told Newsday late Saturday that his daughter is “going to be fine.”

Joel, Alexa Ray’s father, has previously admitted to feeling “suicidal” himself when he was her age and swallowing furniture polish. “I was 21. It’s a tough age. Things hit you really hard,” Joel told Details magazine last year.
