At today’s hearing a judge made the change official. That means Bynes, 35, is once again in charge of her own life.
In a statement to People today Bynes said, “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 prioritize my well-being in this next chapter.”

In the years since, Bynes has sought treatment for addiction and achieved at least one long period of sobriety.
Bynes announced her engagement to Paul Michael, whom she met in treatment, on Valentine’s Day 2020.
