Amanda Bynes placed on involuntary psychiatric hold after 'starting fire in residential driveway'

Amanda Bynes has been placed on involuntary psychiatric hold after allegedly starting a fire on Monday night in a residential driveway.

The 27-year-old actress was found standing near the fire burning at a house in Thousand Oaks, California, according to reports.

She was questioned by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies who determined she needed to be hospitalized on a so-called 5150 hold, TMZ claims.

The 5150 hold is an involuntary hospitalization for a mental evaluation and can last up to 72 hours.

Amanda on Sunday also had a run-in with police after she was turned away from a Thousand Oaks retirement home because she appeared drunk.

Amanda was born and raised in affluent Thousand Oaks, which is about 35 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
