Several hours after the incident, Norwood's team has issued a statement via Twitter informing the singer-actress's fans that she had been released from the hospital and was taking a break at home.

"Brandy has been released from the hospital and is now at home resting," the statement read. "She has been traveling extensively as part of an ongoing tour and several personal appearances. In recent days she has taken more than 10 long haul flights including internationally. She was in the studio all night last night until it was time for her to leave for the airport to catch a 5:45 am flight."
"The stress of all of the traveling and working so incessantly has exhausted her," the statement mentioned. "She will be relaxing for the next few days."
At present, "The Boy Is Mine" singer is set to perform at the LA! Pride Festival on June 11. Her representatives have not indicated any intention of canceling this appearance so far.
