Travis Barker was rushed to the hospital yesterday. The Blink-182 drummer initially visited a facility in West Hills, reportedly for pancreatitis. Medical professionals deemed his situation serious enough to call an ambulance to transport him to the emergency room, per reports.

Photos published by different outlets show Barker, 46, being rolled into Cedars Sinai Medical Center on a gurney on Tuesday. Wife Kourtney Kardashian was by his side, as were his children. An unnamed source confirmed to PEOPLE that Barker was suffering from pancreatitis, an inflammation of the organ that aids in digestion and regulating blood sugar. "It was pancreatitis," the source said, "He was complaining of cramps." While another source told the outlet, "Kourtney was worried yesterday. They both were."

Daughter Alabama Barker, 16, shared a photo on TikTok of her holding her dad's hand as he lay on the gurney. "Please say a prayer," she wrote. In the image, Barker is seen wearing all-black clothes and a white medical bracelet over his tattooed hand. Alabama put a heart emoji over the bracelet to hide her dad's personal information. She later deleted the post and instead shared an Instagram Story with a black background and the words, "Please send your prayers," and a teary-eyed emoji.

Barker's other children, Landon Barker, 18, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 23, have remained silent about the situation on social media. Both were actively sharing photos of their days on their Instagram Stories before news broke of Barker's medical emergency.

Kardashian—who was seen in photos wearing black sweatpants and a black hoodie while holding Barker's hand from the gurney—has not spoken of her husband's condition or sudden hospitalization. Hours earlier, Barker tweeted, "God Save Me," which had fans worried, though it's important to remember it's also the title of a song he produced for friend Machine Gun Kelly, released in March.
