A statement on her website said the 71-year-old
singer-songwriter had regained consciousness while being
transported by ambulance to a Los Angeles-area hospital.
Mitchell was undergoing medical testing in the hospital's
intensive care unit but was "awake and in good spirits," the
statement said.
Further details on her condition and the nature of the medical
emergency were not immediately provided. Representatives for the
musician did not respond to requests for comment.
Celebrity news website TMZ.com said that Mitchell was taken to
hospital after authorities received a 911 call from her Los
Angeles home about an unconscious woman.
The Canadian-born Mitchell was inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in 1997 and is best known for her highly
influential albums in the late '60s and '70s, including
"Clouds," "Ladies of the Canyon" and "Blue."
Mitchell was a pioneering female rock artist, breaking into an
industry previously dominated by men, and selling millions of
albums.
