Entertainer Michael Jackson was taken to a hospital on Thursday, according to a Los Angeles Fire Department official.


A Los Angeles fire official told CNN that paramedics arrived at Michael Jackson's home after a 911 call.


Fire Capt. Steve Ruda told CNN a 911 call came in from a west Los Angeles residence at 12:21 p.m. and the patient was treated and transferred to the UCLA Medical Center.

Asked specifics of the patient's condition, the spokesman said he could not discuss them because of federal privacy laws.
