LOS ANGELES - Amanda Bynes has reportedly been placed on a psychiatric hold after she was found naked walking the streets of downtown Los Angeles Sunday, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Bynes was seen walking in the DTLA area without any clothes on before she flagged a car down and apparently told the driver she was "coming down from a psychotic episode."
Bynes herself called 911, the publication reported.
Police said Bynes was taken to a nearby police station where she was placed on a psychiatric hold under the direction of a mental health team.

It does not appear Bynes suffered any injuries.
It's unclear at this time how long Bynes will be hospitalized. A California 5150 hold lasts 72 hours from the time a person is escorted from their location by the police or other services to a psychiatric hospital.
Bynes has mostly stayed out of the spotlight since her years-long conservatorship was terminated last March. The decision came after the actress filed for her conservatorship to end in late February.
"Amanda is excited and looking forward to living independently," her attorney previously told Fox News Digital in a statement after confirming the actress wanted to end her conservatorship.
Bynes was placed under a conservatorship in August 2013. The decision by a judge gave her mother, Lynn Bynes, legal control of her finances among other things.
The legal move followed a series of public events that ended with Bynes being hospitalized after allegedly starting a small fire in a driveway, according to Page Six.

Bynes submitted a status report regarding her health to the Ventura County Superior Court in September and the document was approved by a California court. The actress' lawyer clarified at the time that Bynes' conservatorship could end when it was "no longer convenient" for the star.
Bynes had previously received treatment in several rehabilitation centers. The actress graduated with an associate's degree from California's Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in 2019.
