Alabama Barker has issued a statement following reports she was rushed to hospital over a 'nicotine withdrawal'.
A TMZ report published on Monday (December 30) claimed the 19-year-old was taken to hospital in the Los Angeles area as a result of 'nicotine withdrawal'.
The report went on to allege that Alabama - who is the daughter of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler - quit vaping around a month ago and called 911 after feeling unwell on her own one day.

Alabama has now issued a response to the speculation in an Instagram Story post that has since been deleted.
"I just want to clarify that I was not in the hospital this month or last. The situation occurred some time ago," she told her 2.1 million followers.
"And I was there for about three hours before being discharged."

The teen continued: "They provided me with a nicotine patch and an inhaler, and that's all. Let's please avoid spreading any rumors and focus on moving forward. Thank you."
On Thursday (December 26), Alabama took to TikTok to reveal she was feeling under the weather with the flu.
Two days prior on Christmas Eve, she celebrated her 19th birthday.
"I have not been okay. On my birthday, I didn’t even get to enjoy it because I was so sick," Alabama said in the video.

"But I am back on my feet, and I really want to give you guys a Christmas haul."
Last year, Alabama explained just how her father parents her to her fans in a surprising quiz.
Posting a video to her TikTok page, she insisted her dad - who welcomed son Rocky with wife Kourtney Kardashian in 2023 and also shares son Landon and stepdaughter Atiana with his ex-wife Shanna - had ‘strict but not strict’ rules regarding her wellbeing.
“I’m asking my strict but not strict dad hypothetical questions,” Alabama told her followers.

“What would you do if I went out with a boy and I just completely stopped answering you?” she asked Travis, who was sitting behind her.
The musician said: “I would come to your location, and I would find you.”
“Am I allowed to have guy friends over? Am I allowed to close my door with a guy in the room?” Alabama then asked.

Travis answered: “[A guy can come over] If I am. Not without me coming in the room and checking on you.”
When asked whether his daughter was allowed to drive to a guy's house late at night, he sternly answered 'no' as Alabama simply laughed.
Elsewhere in the video, Travis gave some pretty well-rounded answers - firm but protective with a willingness to explain why he had the rules.
