Elizabeth Taylor, the Oscar Award-winning actress, stayed in a Los Angeles hospital on Friday. Taylor was getting treatment for congestive heart failure, reports said.

Her representative Jamie Cadwell told CNN Friday that Taylor has “symptoms caused by congestive heart failure.”

During the week, the 78-year-old checked into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment, the news agency reported.

“Her family and close friends are appreciative of the warm support and interest of her loyal fans but have asked that people respect her privacy and allow her medical team the time and space to focus on restoring her back to health,” another spokesperson Sally Morrison said in a statement, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Taylor has won two Oscars in her long, distinguished career, one for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf in 1966, and the other for Butterfield 8 in 1960.

Taylor, who first gained popularity when she was 12, was known for her beauty, glamorous lifestyle, and her love of diamonds.
