If you are using chart.js in an Angular project with Typescript, the you can try the following;

Import the library:
    import { Chart } from 'chart.js';

In your Component Class declare the variable and define a method:

  chart: Chart;

  drawGraph(): void {
    if (this.chart) {
      this.chart.destroy();
    }

    this.chart = new Chart('myChart', {
       .........
    });
  }
