Amanda Bynes' conservatorship terminated by judge

Amanda Bynes' conservatorship has been terminated by a judge in California.

The 35-year-old actress has been under a conservatorship since 2013 after suffering drug and mental health problems, but Judge Roger L. Lund announced on Tuesday (March 22) that the conservatorship was no longer required.

He said: "She's done everything the court has asked over a long period of time."

Amanda subsequently thanked her fans for the support they've given her over recent years. The actress — who shot to fame as a child star — also revealed some of her long-term ambitions.

In a statement given to People, Amanda said: "Following today's decision by the judge to terminate my conservatorship, I would like to thank my fans for their love and well wishes during this time. I would also like to thank my lawyer and my parents for their support over the last nine years."

"In the last several years, I have been working hard to improve my health so that I can live and work independently, and I will continue to prioritise my well-being in this next chapter.

The She's the Man actress' parents have also been fully supportive of her efforts to have her conservatorship overturned.
