The 43-year-old star is recovering in the hospital after being found unresponsive by her boyfriend David Adefeso, 49, in the Ritz-Carlton Residences in downtown Los Angeles. The 911 call suggested that she could have overdosed on prescription medication.

Davis, 54, tweeted a supportive message, acknowledging the situation and bringing awareness to mental health and addiction.

“Praying for Tamar Braxton. Mental Health has got to be a part of our ‘wokeness,’ ” Davis wrote Friday. “There is strength in vulnerability. You matter Miss Tamar Braxton. Praying for you, your beautiful son and family.”

The Braxton family’s spokesperson released a statement to update the public following the incident: “Tamar has had a very tough and emotional day — more information will be coming in the next few days. Please pray for her.”

Braxton is being monitored around the clock, as some believe she attempted to take her own life, NME reports. She is currently in stable condition.

The R&B vocalist and reality TV personality has released five albums, most recently 2017’s “Bluebird of Happiness,” and has starred alongside her famous sisters in “Braxton Family Values” since 2011.

She co-hosted the Emmy-winning daytime talk show “The Real” for three years, ending with her high-profile firing in 2016. She bounced back in 2019 as the winner of the second season of CBS’s “Celebrity Big Brother.”

Her new docuseries, “Tamar Braxton: Get Ya Life,” was set to premiere July 30 on WE TV. Reps for the production have not responded to The Post’s request for comment.
