A Teen Vogue fashion event featuring X Factor singer Cher Lloyd brought screaming teen girls to The Grove shopping center in 93-degree heat, prompting five young people to fall ill and require medical treatment.

The incident was reported about 1:39 p.m. as a "large crowd" gathered to check out the event at 189 The Grove Drive, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey. Lloyd's free show started at 1:30, Teen Vogue stated.

According to the LAFD ...

... at least five "youths" reported feeling ill amid the hot and crowded conditions and requested help: They were eventually checked out and released, some to their parents.

Humphrey said those seeking help included three girls and two women who likely suffered mild, heat-related illness.

Shortly after 3 p.m. the LAFD reported that the crowds had diminished and that no one had to be hospitalized.

The fashion show was billed as a "Back To School Saturday" promotion:

It's not the first time Lloyd has had her young fans in a tizzy. Authorities reportedly shut down a Lloyd event in West Hollywood earlier this month as a result of overcrowding.

Today people were tweeting about the crowds:

Wow! About a gazillion people out here to see @cherlloyd & @shaymitch with @teenvogue instagr.am/p/OM6UJjM2GC/

Shame on you Cher for not making time for the girls who got sick from waiting around in the heat to see you. They didn't get to see you perform and then you don't make the time to even come and see them. WOW...way to make a great impression on the young girls who idolize you. As the mother of one of the girls I am NOT a Cher Lloyd fan. Thank you to the security and Concierge staff for getting my daughter inside and prompt medical attention. To the RN that was there on her day off and tended to all the girls before the parmedics got there...you are an angel and we appreciate you.

@harrymurkin First of all we have annual memberships to most of the musuems in Los Angeles. Dumb ass...I think not. My children are well exposed to all kinds of cultural events but they are children. And as such Dumb ass they like Cher Lloyd, One Direction and other teeny bopper acts so why don't you get off the Net and go to a museum Dumbass!!!
