Legendary singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell is in intensive care in a Los Angeles hospital after being found unconscious in her Bel Air home.

According to her official website, the Canadian music icon was rushed to hospital on Tuesday afternoon.

"Joni was found unconscious in her home this afternoon. She regained consciousness on the ambulance ride to an L.A. area hospital," reads the statement. 

"She is currently in intensive care undergoing tests and is awake and in good spirits. More updates to come as we hear them."

After releasing her 2007 album, Shine, Mitchell has mostly stayed out of the limelight, and says that a rare condition called Morgellons has kept her from performing, singing and recording.

Late last year Mitchell released a career-spanning box set, Love Has Many Faces, A Quartet, A Ballet, Waiting to Be Danced.

"Light a candle and sing a song," read her website late Tuesday night, "let's all send good wishes her way."

UPDATE: Sources close to Mitchell have confirmed that the singer is conscious and resting in hospital. They also say she was with friends at the time of the incident, and it is being treated as a minor medical emergency.
