For the second time this month, police involuntary committed Britney Spears early Thursday morning, hours after celebrity news media outlets reported that her psychiatrist determined she was a danger to herself and others.

At approximately 1 a.m., dozens of LAPD officers along with an ambulance arrived at Spears’ home in the Summit Circle community of Beverly Hills.

Less than 20 minutes later, she was transported to UCLA Medical Center. Britney is being placed on an emergency psychiatric hold, known as a 5150.

Britney Spears, as you recall, had been involuntarily committed January 3 after a mental breakdown at her home and a subsequent three-hour police standoff.

The ambulance was seen pulling out of the side entrance of Britney Spears‘ gated Summit community at 1:20 a.m. Her mother, Lynne Spears, was seen riding in an SUV as part of the police escort caravan leaving the area.

Her father, Jamie Spears, and her brother, Bryan Spears, arrived at the hospital just minutes after Britney was brought in. Her manager / friend, Sam Lutfi, and possible cousin, Alli Sims, also were seen entering the building.
