The Latest: Kanye West has been hospitalized in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES – The Latest on Kanye West’s hospitalization (all times local):

12:45 p.m.

Kanye West has been hospitalized in Los Angeles after abruptly cancelling the last 21 dates of his national tour.

A spokeswoman for the E! network, which airs the Kardashian family reality show and its spinoffs, confirmed that West was hospitalized Monday afternoon after his personal doctor called 911. Christel Wheeler said Tuesday that E! cameras were not filming when the 911 call was made and that they are not filming at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where West is being treated.

A spokeswoman for West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, had no comment Tuesday.

Los Angeles police told The Associated Press on Monday that they responded to a home in West Hollywood, California, and a person there was taken by ambulance to the hospital and placed on a psychiatric hold. Police did not identify the patient as West.

Wheeler said West was at the home of his personal trainer when the emergency call was made.

Reports say Kanye West has been hospitalized after abruptly cancelling the rest of his tour.

Various media outlets report based on anonymous law enforcement sources and West representatives that that West was taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles on Monday afternoon because of stress and exhaustion and he is spending the night there for his own safety.

Without confirming that the patient was West, Los Angeles police told The Associated Press that officers were called to a house on Laurel Avenue for a disturbance at about 1:20 p.m. When they arrived it was clear that nothing criminal was occurring and it was a medical situation instead.

Police tell the AP West was taken in an ambulance to the hospital and placed on a psychiatric hold.
