Pop star Britney Spears has been admitted.

In a statement made by LAPD, ET has learned that "police assisted in transporting [Britney] to a local (Los Angeles area) hospital."

The Associated Press reports a Los Angeles police officer, who requested anonymity, said Spears was taken to "get help."

Sources tell ET that shortly before Britney was admitted she was heard swearing at her mother.
