Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman is receiving support from those around him as he recovers from an alleged overdose.

The 48-year-old's estranged wife, Marieangela King Allman, broke her silence on Sunday, June 15, to share optimistic words about her ex after he was reportedly rushed to a hospital in Joshua Tree, Calif., one day prior for "acting erratically."

In a statement on Sunday, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said Elijah was already being "evaluated by emergency medical personnel" when deputies arrived at the scene on Saturday, June 14, claiming officers "located drugs inside the home" and "transported" the troubled star to the hospital. The police investigation is "ongoing."

Elijah Blue Allman allegedly overdosed over the weekend.

Marieangela — who filed for divorce from her estranged husband in April — reacted to the report hours later, declaring: "While it is true that Elijah has faced personal challenges in the past, one constant has been his unwavering commitment to sobriety and his loyalty to those he loves."

"Like many, he continues to confront his inner struggles — but it is important to recognize that he does so from a place of strength, not defeat," she continued. "Despite the assumptions that often color how his journey is portrayed, the reality is that Elijah remains grounded, focused and deeply committed to living with integrity and purpose."

Elijah's separated spouse added: "I want to state, without hesitation, that I will always root for him. My support is steadfast and comes from a place of deep respect for the person he is and the resilience he continues to show."
