The 27-year-old starlet’s mom and dad, Lynn and Rick, will be in court Friday morning to ask that a temporary conservatorship be established to give them control over their daughter’s financial and personal affairs, E! News has confirmed.
Their decision comes after Bynes was detained Monday night on a 72-hour psychiatric hold after allegedly setting a fire in the driveway of a home near her parents’ house in Thousand Oaks, Calif. No injuries were reported and Bynes was not arrested, according to authorities, but bystanders have attested to seeing the actress’ pants on fire.
One witness described Bynes’ state at the time to E! News as “frantic and discombobulated.”
Ventura County Sheriff’s deputies eventually caught up with her and, per a sheriff’s spokesperson, soon “determined that she met the criteria of a 5150 [hold],” meaning she had been deemed a potential danger to herself or others.
The Ventury County Fire Department confirmed that they received a call about a “miscellaneous fire” at around 8:30 p.m. and the blaze was put out by local residents.
