Prayers out to Alexa Ray Joel after her suicide attempt.

NY Daily News:
Alexa Ray Joel, the daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley, tried to kill herself by downing a handful of sleeping pills Saturday and was rushed to a Manhattan hospital, sources said.

Joel, 23, was taken to St. Vincent's Medical Center after paramedics responded about 12:30 p.m. to a 911 call from her West Village apartment, a police source said.

Fire Department officials said she told medics she had taken eight pills and was having trouble breathing.

"She is stable," said Claire Mercuri, the publicist for Alexa and her dad. "The doctors are assessing her needs at this moment."

Brinkley, in a blue rain coat, swept into the hospital about 4:20 p.m. Billy Joel was expected to join her there last night, sources said.
