Lindsay Lohan's mother, Dina, informed People that her daughter went to the emergency room Thursday evening due to an asthma attack, despite statements from the actress' rep on Friday that she was visiting a friend in the hospital.
"She was losing oxygen. She couldn't breathe," Dina Lohan said.
"She was afraid to go the hospital because [the paparazzi] were gonna write about it. She was sick," she added. "If you were sick, and you're mother couldn't even take you to a hospital because paparazzi will fabricate some story, you know, it's sad. It's really sad."
Paparazzi had photographed 21-year-old Lindsay and her rumored girlfriend, DJ Samantha Ronson, going to the emergency room.
Dina Lohan said her daughter was lucky Ronson was there. "Samantha is an angel," she said.
