Alexa Ray Joel, pictured earlier this year, was involved in an apparent suicide bid The 23-year-old, pictured performing with father Billy Joel, who said she 'is going to be fine' The 23-year-old, pictured with her mother Christine Brinkley, is also a singer-songwriter The daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley has been released from hospital after an apparent suicide bid. Alexa Ray Joel, 23, is said to have swallowed a large number of pills and told her flatmate she wanted to die. Her flatmate called the 911 emergency number just before 12.30 on Saturday afternoon and she was taken to St Vincent's Hospital in New York. Supermodel Brinkley, 55, arrived at the hospital about four hours later. After she was admitted Claire Mercuri, publicist for Alexa and her 60-year-old Piano Man father, said in a statement: 'Alexa is stable. Her doctors are assessing her needs and that's all we can say at this moment.' Joel later told Newsday: 'She is going to be fine.' Alexa, a singer-songwriter like her father, was released after several hours. Fire Department sources told the New York Daily News she told doctors she had swallowed a number of pills and was having difficulty breathing, but a source close to her said she had only taken a homoeopathic antihistamine. Alexa, the only daughter of Joel and Brinkley, who divorced in 1994 after nine years of marriage, recently complained on her MySpace page about how difficult it is to meet men. Sources: SINA.com
