Alexa Ray Joel Heads Home From Hospital

According to Us, Alexa Ray Joel, who was admitted to St. Vincent’s Hospital yesterday (December 5) after reportedly overdosing on sleeping pills, has since been released.

Though Alexa’s father, Billy Joel, was not present at the hospital, he told Newsday late Saturday night that his daughter was “going to be fine”.

“Billy didn’t go so it didn’t become a circus atmosphere,” said a friend of the 60-year-old singer. “He was in constant phone contact.”

Alexa is the only child of Billy and his ex-wife, Christie Brinkley.
