Toni Braxton is in a Los Angeles hospital due to lupus complications. On Friday, the 45-year-old R&B singer Tweeted that she was hospitalized because of “minor health issues” linked to lupus.
“But no worries! I will be out any day now,” Braxton assured her fans via Twitter.
According to the Associated Press, a spokeswoman confirmed the statement but offered no additional details.
Two years ago, Braxton announced she has lupus. She chronicled a few difficult moments caused by the autoimmune disease on the WE reality-TV series “Braxton Family Values.” The potentially deadly disease runs in Braxton’s family and killed her uncle. Braxton also suffers from narrow blood vessels in her heart.
Combined the two illness have taken a toll on her career. In a recent “20/20″ interview, she said doctors told her “the Lupus diagnosis meant her performing career would likely be diminished and the disease helped push her into a recent bankruptcy,” according to the Associated Press. It proved true. Braxton filed for bankruptcy 2011.
However, she continues to recover, pumping out new albums and a hit reality-TV show. We’re sure she’ll bounce back from this one too.
