Troubled Amanda Bynes will stay in psychiatric care for at least two weeks after a judge extended her involuntary care order.
Amanda’s parents Rick and Lynn backed the judges decision to keep their daughter under a 5150 hold for her own protection – after she allegedly set fire to a strangers driveway and accidentally doused her dog in gasoline.
Sources told TMZ Amanda, 27, had her own lawyer who argued the extension should be denied but doctors argued they needed at least two weeks to diagnose the former Disney star’s illness.
A picture emerged of what is thought to be Amanda arriving at a hospital in Los Angeles after being put under psych hold by police officers.
The frail figure was covered in a sheet with her feet clad in hospital slippers.

According to Radar worried parents Lynn and Rick will have a hearing at Ventura County courthouse on Friday to ask for temporary conservatorship of their daughter.
A source said: “Rick and Lynn will appear before the judge on Friday to ask for a temporary conservatorship of their daughter, Amanda.
“Her parents will both be petitioning to be the temporary proposed conservators, and want control of her personal and financial affairs.”
