"I am grateful for the first responders and health care professionals who ensured her well-being," Bass' statement said. "The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the circumstances of this incident."
In 2006, Bass' daughter Emilia Bass-Lechuga and son-in-law Michael Wright died in a car accident, according to the mayor-elect's biography on her campaign website.
