HOLLYWOOD great Elizabeth Taylor has been rushed to hospital suffering from heart failure.
The star's publicist Sally Morrison told the Fox News Channel that the 78-year-old's condition was not life-threatening and that she was in good hands.
"Elizabeth Taylor was hospitalised earlier this week when she was taken to Cedars Sinai suffering from symptoms caused by congestive heart failure, an ongoing condition," she said.
"This issue is being addressed. She is currently being kept in the hospital for monitoring.
"Her family and close friends are appreciative of the warm support and interest of her loyal fans but have asked that people respect her privacy and allow her medical team the time and space to focus on restoring her back to health."
Taylor, who has been married eight times and won two best actress Oscars, was well enough to receive visitors, Morrison said.
It is not clear how long she will remain in the hospital.
Taylor underwent heart surgery in 2009 which involved repairing a "leaky valve".
