Cape Town – Demi Lovato reportedly refused to disclose which drug caused her to overdose when paramedics responded to a 911 call at her home.

An insider revealed to Us Weekly, Demi’s friends had the medication on hand in case something like this would happen.

A law enforcement source further confirmed that no drugs were found at Demi’s home and there is currently no criminal investigation.

A rep for Demi released a statement stating that she is awake and recovering with her family.
