Watch: Brandy Thanks Fans After Reported Hospitalization

Brandy Norwood is on the mend after a health scare.

The "Boy Is Mine" singer, 43, shared in an Instagram Stories post on Oct. 12 that she's "following doctors' orders and getting the rest I need due to dehydration and low amounts of nutrition."

Thanking fans for "sending love and light my way," she added, " Grateful for you all, see you soon."

The health update comes a day after Brandy was reportedly taken to a Los Angeles hospital on Oct. 11 after suffering a possible seizure, according to TMZ, which cited sources with knowledge of the situation. E! News has reached out to Brandy's rep and authorities for comment and has not heard back.

According to the outlet, the Moesha alum had her parents by her side at the hospital. 

Back in 2017, Brandy was also transported to the hospital after losing consciousness on a flight at Los Angeles International Airport. "She has been traveling extensively as part of an ongoing tour and several personal appearances," the Queens star's team said in a June 2017 statement after she was released from the hospital. "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 the airport to catch a 5:45 a.m. flight."

Brandy was active on social media just days before her reported hospitalization, sending support to her brother Ray J on Oct. 7. And in late September, Brandy couldn't help but gush over her musical collab with Mariah Carey.

"Love you @mariahcarey-so honored, overjoyed, and humbled to be a part of a body of work that changed my life," Brandy wrote on Instagram of "The Roof" revamp. "You are so loved."

Earlier this year, Brandy made headlines for her performance of the National Anthem at the 2022 NFL NFC Championship Game.

"What a moment," Brandy wrote in a January Instagram post after taking the field. "Thank you God for courage and a solid foundation. I love you."
