Update: Alexa Ray Joel: Hospitalized, Stable Condition

Update: Alexa Ray Joel’s father, Billy Joel, has spoken out about his daughter’s condition following her hospitalization Saturday afternoon (December 5): “She is going to be fine,” he told Newsday late Saturday night.

Bill Joel’s daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, was rushed to St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York City tonight (December 5) and is currently in stable condition after a possible drug overdose.

“She was admitted, and doctors are assessing the situation,” a rep for the songwriter tells Us. “We have no further comment.”

According to the New York Post, Alexa’s roommate made the 911 call just before 12.30pm today after the 23-year-old songwriter allegedly swallowed a large number of sleeping pills in what police are considering a suicide attempt.

According to other sources, she was conscious at St. Vincent’s and is expected to survive.

Alexa, the only daughter of Billy Joel and supermodel Christie Brinkley, was scheduled to appear in the tree-lighting ceremony at the New York Stock Exchange this Thursday.
