Police and paramedics responded to a medical emergency at pop star JoJo Siwa's home during her Wednesday evening Pride party, TMZ first reported on Thursday.

Spokespeople for both the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) told Insider that paramedics and police responded to a medical emergency on the San Fernando Valley block that appears to match previous footage of Siwa's home obtained by Insider.

The LAFD responded to the scene first, at 8:19 p.m. local time, a spokesperson said. An LAPD spokesperson told Insider that officers reported to the home "around" 8:50 p.m. local time, but police determined there was no crime committed.

According to a spokesperson for the LAFD, the initial 911 call reported the individual to be a 30-year-old male. There was one ambulance transported to the hospital, and the LAFD spokesperson could not disclose the nature of the medical emergency.

E! News also confirmed that both the LAFD and the LAPD responded to Siwa's home in the Tarzana neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley.

TMZ, citing law enforcement sources, reported that a male around the age of 30 may have overdosed on LSD. Citing sources connected to the party, TMZ reported that the man arrived at the party while high.

Representatives for Siwa did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

According to E! News, Siwa's Pride Party featured rainbow-themed decorations, a candy buffet, and a bounce house, per currently unavailable posts on the performer's Instagram story. TMZ reported that other influencers including Tana Mongeau, who posted a picture with Siwa from what appeared to be the party on Instagram, were in attendance.

Siwa, who is now 18 years old, is an incredibly popular artist signed with Nickelodeon who got her start on the reality television series "Dance Moms." She came out as a member of the LGBTQ community in January, later going public about her relationship with her girlfriend.

Media representation and mental health experts told Insider in January that Siwa being public about her sexuality could make a major difference in the lives of LGBTQ children and their parents, particularly given her sizeable young fanbase.
