The Los Angeles Fire Department has confirmed to People magazine that a woman patient was recently rushed to a local hospital after responding to an emergency call, but wouldn't discuss the patient's condition or status. Representatives of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer have also yet to respond to the news.

At this point, it is still unknown what caused the emergency, but TMZ reported that the Grammy-award winner is in the intensive care unit of the hospital.

Mitchell is widely known for her hits such as "Big Yellow Taxi," "Woodstock," and "Both Sides, Now." She started as a folk singer before acquiring mainstream success in the 70s. Her songs were such a huge hit that they have been covered by so many artists including Hole and Sarah McLachlan and sampled by Kanye West and Janet Jackson.

 Just this year, the music icon starred in a campaign for Saint Laurent.
