Below is a statement from TMZ:
“Officials tells us emergency personnel responded to Dusty’s home in Orlando at 5:56 a.m. Wednesday morning after getting a call reporting a 69-year-old male had taken a fall.
We’re told Dusty’s immediate family raced to be by his side as soon as they learned he was in the hospital.
