A spokesman for Delta Airlines released a statement to the New York Post, saying, “The flight crew of Delta flight 763 from LAX to New York’s JFK International Airport returned to the gate, prior to the departure, after a customer fell ill on board. Medical personnel met the flight and transported the customer to a local hospital. Flight 763 departed for New York roughly 45 minutes behind schedule.”

Brandy’s publicist, Courtney Barnes, released a statement saying that her client’s rigorous schedule took a toll on the singer. Barnes also updated Brandy’s fans about her condition and said that she has been released from the hospital and is recovering at home. The rep revealed that Brandy was at the studio until very late the night before she took the 5:45 a.m. flight. Barnes added that Brandy will be relaxing and recovering for the next few days.
