Alexa Joel and Christie BrinkleyBilly Joel’s daughter Alexa Ray Joel, 23,  was rushed to the hospital on Saturday after she took an overdose of Traumeel, a homeopathic anti-inflammatory medication in an apparent suicide attempt. A source told the New York Daily News she has battled depression since breaking up with her boyfriend and former bandmate, Jimmy Riot. Paramedics arrived on scene following a 911 call from Alexa’s roommate at 12:30 p.m. Her mother, Christie Brinkley, arrived at the hospital at 4:20 p.m. and stayed by her daughter’s side in the hospital until she was released Saturday evening.
