Britney Spears is back in the hospital for psychiatric evaluation. The singer was transported from her home by ambulance to UCLA Medical Center at 1 a.m. this morning.
"Spears was escorted by police and is on her way to get help," an LAPD source told People.
The 26-year-old is again under a 5150 hold, which means she will remain in the hospital for treatment and evaluation for 72 hours, unless a doctor allows an earlier release.
"She went willingly. It was like something in her heart was telling her she should go. She knew something was wrong," manager and friend Sam Lutfi told People.
"She's more comfortable this time, she came into the waiting area, had a cigarette, made a joke about being there again. But who knows what will happen," a source told People. "All we can hope for is that she gets better."
Apparently Spears' mother Lynn, friend Alli Sims and Lutfi were all in the home when the ambulance arrived.
"She was driving around her neighborhood like a mad-woman," said a Spears family source about the impetus of the hospitalization. "Britney has been prescribed medication which she refuses to take. This is just another sad, sad evening."
Although Internet rumors said Spears had attempted suicide, Lutfi and Sims called the claims untrue.
