Lily Allen suffers second miscarriage

British singer Lily Allen has suffered a miscarriage six months into her pregnancy, her spokesperson says.

Allen, 25, was rushed to a London hospital on Thursday, complaining of stomach pains. Efforts to save the unborn child over the weekend failed, reports The Sun newspaper.

The star announced in early August that she was three months pregnant with her boyfriend Sam Cooper's baby.

"It is with great sadness that we have to confirm that Lily Allen and Sam Cooper have lost their baby," her rep said in a statement. "The couple ask that their privacy be respected and that they be left alone at this deeply distressing time. No further comment will be made."

In January 2008, Allen miscarried a child with then-boyfriend and Chemical Brothers star Ed Simmons.

Devastating news. My thoughts and prayers are with Allen and Cooper.
