Troubled star Amanda Bynes has left the Reagan UCLA Medical Centre, where she was undergoing psychiatric treatment, and has moved to an exclusive rehabilitation centre in Malibu.
Her family's attorney Tamar Arminak confirmed that the 27-year-old actress departed the Los Angeles medical center about three weeks ago for The Canyon, which caters especially to celebrities, reported TMZ online.
"Upon recommendation by the skilled health care professionals at UCLA Medical Center, Amanda is receiving specialised treatment in a private facility outside of Los Angeles. Amanda is making great strides towards recovery," her parents said in a statement through their lawyer.
"The entire Bynes family would like to ask that they be given some measure of privacy so they can focus on Amanda's health and well-being. The Bynes family would also like to thank all of Amanda's supporters and well-wishers for their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."
The Canyon is a secluded celebrity-friendly recovery center where Brooke Mueller was once treated.
Bynes was put on an involuntary 5150 psychiatric hold in July after setting a fire on a stranger's driveway near her family's home in Thousand Oaks, California.
She was initially treated at Hillmont Psychiatric Center in Ventura, California before being moved to UCLA.
Her parents were granted contemporary conservatorship to oversee her financial and legal affairs as well as her well beings shortly after the campfire incident, which was preceded by a series of erratic behaviours including multiple traffic violations.
A conservatorship hearing was held at Ventura County Juvenile Court House in Oxnard, California on September 30.
