JONI MITCHELL was rushed to hospital on Tuesday afternoon, after police reportedly found her unconscious in her Los Angeles property.
Joni Mitchell's progress is said to be encouraging after she was hospitalised on Tuesday
However the singer-songwriter's condition is now said to be improving, after a statement was released on her website yesterday.
It is not clear what the 71-year-old, who has previously stated she has the rare skin condition Morgellons disease, is being treated for.
The statement read: "Joni remains under observation in the hospital and is resting comfortably.
"We are encouraged by her progress and she continues to improve and get stronger each day."

The star said she has the rare skin condition Morgellons disease
A previous message updated fans, saying: "Joni was found unconscious in her home this afternoon. She regained consciousness on the ambulance ride to an LA area hospital.
"She is currently in intensive care undergoing tests and is awake and in good spirits… Light a candle and sing a song, let's all send good wishes her way."
In December, Joni told Billboard magazine that she had Morgellons, which prevented her from performing.
"I can't sing any more - don't miss it… I've got all these instruments laying around and hopefully one day I'll pick them up," she said.
Joni is now said to be getting stronger day by day
The Canadian-born star was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
She is best known for her highly influential albums in the late '60s and '70s, including Clouds, Ladies of the Canyon and Blue.
Joni has sold millions of records in a career that led the way for women in the previously male-dominated rock world.
