Singer Whitney Houston died Saturday in Beverly Hills, according to law enforcement sources.
Authorities are trying to determine a cause of death. [Updated at 5:46 p.m.: She was found in the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where emergency medical personnel were called sometime Saturday, said the sources, who asked to remain anonymous because the investigation is ongoing.]
Houston, 48, was in the Los Angeles area for a musical tribute to music executive Clive Davis and had performed and spoken to reporters earlier in the week.
The performer had drug and alcohol problems for years, and in May her spokeswoman said she was going back to rehab.
Publicist Kristen Foster told the Associated Press on Saturday that Houston had died but did not provide further details.
According to AP:
At her peak in the 1980s and '90s, Houston the golden girl of the music industry and one of the world's best-selling artists.
Among her hits were тАЬHow Will I Know,тАЭ тАЬSaving All My Love for YouтАЭ and тАЬI Will Always Love You.тАЭ She won multiple Grammys including album and record of the year.
Her success carried her beyond music to movies like тАЬThe Bodyguard.тАЭ
But by the end of her career, drug use took its toll as her record sales plummeted and her voice became raspy and hoarse.
