People magazine confirmed the news that Bynes is living with parents Lynn and Rick.
Lynn's attorney, Tamar Arminak, released a statement to People. "Amanda and her entire family would like to thank everyone who's contacted them with good thoughts and wishes for Amanda's recovery. Amanda has completed her inpatient rehabilitation and she's feeling better every day."
The "Easy A" star has made huge strides since being placed on a 5150 involuntary psych hold in July, and now has big plans for the future.
"She's now looking at various colleges with the intention of majoring in fashion design," the statement continued. "She's mentioned before she's interested in creating a clothing line."
Bynes' mom will remain in control of her health and finances as the former Nickelodeon star continues outpatient treatment and moves forward with her life.
"She's very happy to reestablish the loving relationship with her family that she once shared,” Arminak said.
