Taylor's health has been the subject of intense speculation in recent years. In 1997, she underwent surgery to have a brain tumor removed and in 2006 she appeared on US television to deny rumors she had Alzheimer's.
In July 2008, she was hospitalized in Los Angeles but her spokesman denied reports that she was close to death and had been placed on life support.
Her spokeswoman said Friday that Taylor's "family and close friends are appreciative of the warm support and interest of her loyal fans."
But they "have asked that people respect her privacy and allow her medical team the time and space to focus on restoring her back to health," she added in a statement.
