First cut a piece of drywall to fill hole if there are no joists to support the patch use a few long narrow pieces of wood screw existing drywall to it first so it doesn't move then screw patch to the strips of wood. Use drywall tape on seams cover seams and screws with drywall mud sand smooth. Go to home improvement store and get a can of spray texture that matches your popcorn cieling and blend the patch in with existing cieling.
WARNING the old popcorn cieling may contain asbestoz use caution when working with it.

You patch the ceiling like you would patch any type of hole with spackle and screens. Then get texture patch from a home improvement store or if it's a large area you can just get the regular texture and spray it up.

You might have to take the rest of the popcorn off by scraping it. You'll probably need to apply wood/mud plaster on it, depending on size. Trust me, it'll look better if you take popcorn celing off.
