Amanda Bynes's mother, who has been granted legal control over her daughter, has spoken about the troubled star for the first time, saying the actress will get through her "situation".
Bynes, 27, was hospitalised after a driveway-burning incident on July 22. She was recently transferred from UCLA Medical Center to a Malibu facility where she'll remain for the foreseeable future, reported People magazine.
"I would really like everyone out there to know that almost 99 percent of the things written about my daughter in various media outlets are false or misleading," Lynn, 66, said in a statement.
"Unless it's a statement issued by our family attorney, Tamar Arminak, please take everything you read about Amanda with a grain of salt."
With her erratic behaviour, Bynes had become a tabloid darling just before she was put in a psychiatric hold but Lynn has appealed for her daughter's privacy while she recovers.
"Please know that neither myself or other family members have ever released any information regarding her treatment or diagnosis. We truly believe in keeping our daughter's situation private for now.
"We appreciate everyone's heartfelt support and we hope that she can get some privacy and the respect she deserves during this trying time. Both my husband and I love Amanda very much and we know that she will get through this situation.
