Amanda Bynes' parents are relieved she is "safe" after being hospitalised.
The troubled actress was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold at a clinic in Los Angeles on Friday (10.10.14) and Lynn and Rick Bynes are hopeful she will now get the "help" she needs.
A source told People magazine: "They're happy she's safe and that Amanda is finally getting some help."
The 28-year-old star was involuntarily taken to a treatment facility after flying back to Los Angeles from New York, and was picked up from the airport by a car service which she believed was taking her to an appointment at a lawyer's office.
Instead, the driver, as instructed by her parents, their attorney Tamar Arminak and Amanda's friend Sam Lutfi - a former confidante of Britney Spears - took her to the clinic in Pasadena.
And the insider admitted everyone involved in the plan was relieved to have pulled it off successfully in order to get the 'Easy A' actress some help.
The source said: "It was touch and go whether the plan would work. Amanda is erratic and disconnected from reality."
The troubled starlet, who was recently arrested for driving under the influence [DUI] and accused of shoplifting, was met at the treatment facility by her parents' lawyer and doctors placed her under an emergency 5150 hold.
Amanda spent approximately five months in a treatment facility after being placed under a 5150 hold in July 2013 after being arrested for starting a small fire in a stranger's driveway.
She was released in December and appeared to be getting her life back on track until her conservatorship - which legally enabled her mother to take care of her and her assets - came to an end recently.
The clinic will make a decision later today (13.10.14) on whether or not Amanda is ready to be released.

Royal
Britain's Prince Harry is "so sad" to hear a young boy has died from cancer weeks after meeting him.
The 30-year-old Royal met seven-year-old Laughlin Whitely at the WellChild Awards ceremony three weeks ago where he was presented with the Most Inspirational Child Award and has now said that his thoughts are with his family after his passing.
Revealing Laughlin - who was nicknamed Lockey - had passed away, his family wrote on Twitter on Saturday (11.10.14) night: "When Laughlin is feeling a bit puffed, he always says, 'Just let me take my breath'. He took his last tonight at 6.30."
They later added: "Lockey is now surrounded by all those he loves, and all the things he loves.
"He knew that as he slowly, slowly drifted off...Last night he told us, each of us, that he loved us & gave us a hug. (sic)"
Laughlin, from Essex in South East England, overcame a brain tumour at just four-year-old before tragically being diagnosed with leukaemia at the beginning of this year and suffering a relapse more recently.
But, inspirationally, he told his parents he wanted to help other children and set up the charity 'Unlock a Life for Lockey', which encourages people to become stem cell donors and makes play boxes for children with cancer.
According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, Prince Harry was "so sad to hear the news" that Laughlin had passed away and said that his thoughts were with the brave youngster's family.
