Michael Jackson has been rushed to a hospital in Los Angeles after reportedly suffering a heart attack earlier today (June 25).

The pop star, 50, collapsed at his home in Los Angeles around noon PST. Staffers rushed to his side but he was unresponsive and was not breathing, reports E! Online.

They then called the Los Angeles City Fire Department, who immediately transported him to UCLA Medical Center.

Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, said that his son suffered a heart attack that "he is not OK."


Reports have since claimed that Michael Jackson has died.
