Jon Bon Jovi's Daughter Stephanie Bongiovi, 19, Recovering From Heroin Overdose: 'We'll Get Through It' Says Rock Star Dad [VIDEO]

Jon Bon Jovi's 19-year-old daughter Stephanie Bongiovi is recovering well from a heroin overdose, according to her father, lead singer of the band Bon Jovi.

Bon Jovi opened up about his daughter Stephanie's overdose on Katie Couric's television program "Katie."

Bon Jovi said that when he heard about his daughter's overdose in her Hamilton College dorm room it was the "worst phone call ever."

But Jon's daughter Stephanie is on the mend, according to the rocker.

"She's doing great and I appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers," he said and added, "I'm just blessed she's healthy and whole, and we'll get through it."

Back in November, police were called to Bon Jovi's daughter's dorm room after she was unresponsive.

Police found a small amount of heroin in her room according to the Huffington Post.

Bon Jovi said his daughter Stephanie's actions blindsided him.

"I'm shocked as much as the next parent with this situation and had no idea," he told the Associated Press a few weeks after the incident. "But then you surround them with best help and love and move on, and that's where we're at with it. Steph is a great kid."

He added to Couric that his daughter's overdose has opened his eyes.

"The problem is much more prevalent than I know," the 51-year-old rocker said. "I cannot get over how many people I've met that said 'my son' or 'my daughter... There is a lot of pressure on kids these days."
