"Liza Minnelli has valiantly battled substance abuse over the years and whenever she has needed to seek treatment she has done so," the Oscar-winning star's rep Scott Gorenstein tells E! News. "She is currently making excellent progress at an undisclosed facility."
According to TMZ, who first reported the story, Minnelli's main health issue is connected to alcohol.
Liza has battled addiction for years, most notably checking into the Betty Ford Clinic during the 1980s.
Addressing the issue with The Guardian, Minnelli said "My whole life, this disease has been rampant. I inherited it, and it's been horrendous, but I have always asked for help."
Minnelli's mother, Judy Garland, famously died of an accidental overdose in 1969.
I've met Liza, and she's a doll. And, of course, one of our great treasures of the performing arts.
Thinking best thoughts her way.
