Troubled British singer Amy Winehouse has been released from the Royal College Hospital in London after an overnight stay.

"Amy Winehouse suffered a reaction to medication at home this evening and was taken to the hospital," her rep told Usmagazine.com Monday.

A London Ambulance Service rep tells Us: "She was taken unwell after an emergency call was received. There is no further comment to make on her health status. All I can tell you is that the patient is now in hospital being treated."

Eyewitnesses saw police escort the 24-year-old in a wheelchair from her London apartment, according to SplashNewsOnline.

The singer was taken to the hospital last month for tests after she fainted at home in London. Her dad Mitch told UK newspaper the Daily Mail that she has emphysema.

Mitch admitted earlier this month he fears his daughter could die "a very slow and painful death.

"She won't die of a drug overdose, it won't be that quick," he told Sky News television, according to BBC News. "She would die, unfortunately, of emphysema. That would be the most likely scenario if she didn't check her behavior, which she is doing."

He said that Amy - who has been in the news recently for a series of scuffles - will stop performing live in September to rest her voice. She will also start writing her new album that month.

In April, Winehouse was released on bail after being arrested for suspicion of drug use. She was questioned by police for more than nine hours about footage from January that shows her allegedly using a crack pipe.

The singer also went to rehab in January.
