By Owen Tonks Comments Amanda Bynes 'spent $1.4m in just months and travelled by taxi from New York to Los Angeles'

Troubled Amanda

The parents of Amanda Bynes claim she is a substance abuser who has spend $1.4m in a matter of months.
In court papers filed by Amanda's parents Rick and Lynn as part of an effort to get a temporary conservatorship over their daughter they say the former child star has become "extremely paranoid about being watched" and even tapes windows shut in a bid to stop cameras from capturing pictures of her.
Amanda is also said to cover smoke alarms with towels and her parents now believe she is homeless.

  In addition, it is claimed the actress as "profound issues with her body image" and is "obsessed with the fact that she (and others) are ugly", according to TMZ.
The former Disney star was thought to have had $4m in the bank but a huge amount of money has allegedly vanished with $1.2m being spent in a very short amount of time.
Amanda apparently withdrew $100,000 from her bank on June 4 and a further $100,000 on July 2 and while her parents do not know what the money was spent on, they believe she spent "a substantial amount" on marijuana and other illegal substances.

  The star recently returned to Los Angeles from where she was living in New York but how she traveled to the Californian city is a mystery with Amanda telling her parents she "cabbed it".
The papers in which Amanda's bizarre behaviour is detailed were filed as her parents are trying to get a temporary conservatorship of their daughter in a bid to control her finances and certain personal areas of her life.
The court denied the request for a conservatorship on Friday morning as the judge is said to want more information.
Amanda is currently in hospital and is on a psychiatric ward after she started a fire on the driveway of a stranger's home in the Thousand Oaks area of Los Angeles on Monday night.
