Singer Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her flat in north London at the age of 27.

The Rehab hitmaker--who had a history of drug addiction and heavy drinking--was discovered at her north London home by emergency services.

A statement said: "Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased.
"On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.
"Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained."

Amy won widespread acclaim with her 2003 debut album, Frank, but it was 2006's Back to Black which brought her worldwide stardom, winning five Grammy Awards.
