It seems like Demi Lovato's recent overdose and hospitalization has put her loved ones right back into her life, according to a recent E! report.

Over the weekend, some of the pop star's closest friends took to Instagram to sound off on Lovato's unfortunate circumstances. "I care about Demi just like all of you do. I have not said anything about this situation now because her recovery has been of the most importance," Dani Vitale, a member of the singer's "Tell Me You Love Me World Tour," told her 104,000 followers. "I was not with Demi when the incident happened, but I am with her now, and will continue to be because she means to the world to me just as she does to all of you. Like all of you, I have nothing but love in my heart for her. There is no need for any negativity towards the ones who care about Demi at this time. There is too much of it in this world as it is."

Meanwhile, one of her other friends, actor Matthew Scott Montgomery, who appeared in her YouTube documentary, Simply Complicated, also shared his two cents on the matter via Instagram. "It's been an incredibly difficult few days, and this year has easily been the hardest I've ever experienced," he wrote. "I couldn't figure out what felt weirder—posting or not posting about this. I will miss hearing my best friend's laugh, maybe my favorite sound in the world, in the audience for these final shows as she continues to recover." 

Thankfully, Lovato is on the road to redemption. However, as per a recent TMZ report, the singer is still at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Apparently, she is suffering from extreme nausea and a high fever, as well as other symptoms related to her alleged overdose.

it’s been an incredibly difficult last few days, and this year has eeeeasily been the hardest i’ve ever experienced. and i couldn’t figure out what felt weirder – posting or not posting about this. 2018 started in Mexico with two of my best friends in the world. we sat next to the beach and made a list of our new year’s resolutions. literally my ONLY one was to put up and perform this play, Dead Boys, and it’s surreal to say it has had an incredible dream-come-true run with three final shows starting tonight. i’ve never worked harder on anything in my life – i have dedicated and sacrificed the last year and a half of my life to it - and every single step of the way, so many friends have been supportive to me and encouraged and helped in a lot of ways. one of those is @ddlovato. she has listened, dropped everything to talk me off a proverbial ledge, seen it multiple times and has championed it since day one. one thing that she and i and @sirahsays have always connected about is being artists, our respect for one another’s dreams and the need to express ourselves onstage – what a GIFT as an actor, or any kind of performer, to get that live therapy - even if it sometimes means all the hard work that comes along with it and our schedules keep us apart in different cities and countries weeks, or even months, at a time and we can’t always be physically be together. i will miss hearing my best friend’s laugh, maybe my favorite sound in the world, in the audience for these final shows as she continues to recover. i want to instagram-publicly thank her for all of her support and to everyone who has seen the show/helped make this dream come true and dedicate the end of the run to her. and thank you for everyone’s DMs/calls/texts/prayers/words of encouragement, love and support during this v hard time xx msm
