The star's bizarre behavior has her loved ones deeply concerned.

Amanda Bynes' worried family is trying to get her to leave New York and move closer to them in Los Angeles.

But the troubled 26-year-old actress is reportedly refusing to move back to the West Coast to allow them to keep a closer eye on her.

Amanda was recently forced to move out of her New York apartment after being threatened with eviction.

A source close to the family told E! News that the What I Like About You actress has everyone extremely worried about her strange behaviour of late, including her raunchy tweets to Drake.

Her family is still hopeful that Amanda will return to her normal self but will step in to help get her life back on track if necessary.

Amanda has had a series of legal troubles in the past few months.

In December Amanda settled two hit-and-run cases after reaching a civil compromise with her victims, saving herself from a potential 12 months in jail.

Along with her legal troubles, Amanda was involved in two bizarre episodes in September 2011.

They included locking herself in a store changing room for nearly two hours and refusing to come out, and stripping off during a gym class.

Friends say her parents don't know what to do as Amanda has cut contact with everyone.

'Amanda shut them out and isn't speaking to them,' the source explained. 'She is doing everything on her own. She has no direction.

'Amanda is out of control. She won't accept help from anybody.... She's completely lost.'

Amanda left her Twitter followers shocked after posting a crude, sexually charged tweet about rapper Drake on Thursday.

The former Nickelodeon star, who has been going off the rails of late, wrote: 'I want @drake to murder my vagina.'

Her potty-mouthed remark comes on top of a series of Twitter rambling she has made about the 26-year-old Canadian star.

Last week she described him as a 'hot fellow' on the social networking site and began posting a series of photos of him.

But her latest tweet certainly provoked a reaction from her fans.

One Twitter user commented: 'She's gone crazy,' while another surmised: 'She has to be hacked or [something].'

Other followers noted how much the actress has changed since her days as a sweet and innocent child star on Nickelodeon show All That.

Bynes - who has both her cheeks pierced with jewellery - announced in 2007 that she did not want to become yet another wild Hollywood star.

Amanda shot to fame after appeared in successful television series including as All That and The Amanda Show on Nickelodeon in the mid to late 1990s and early 2000s.

She also branched out into film, appearing in the likes of 2003's critically panned What A Girl Wants and 2007's Hairspray before her abrupt retirement.

Was she incarcerated? Did she hurt herself or someone else? Yes the tweet is vulgar but she has not done anything to warrant her freedom being taken away under a conservatorship or anything else! Acting bizarrely is not a crime, believe it or not, it could be part of her personality! No one brought up the issue of conservatorship for Lilo until years after her endless court battles began, but Amanda acts out of the norm. "Going home" maybe worse for her than being on her own. You don't know her or her family, anyone can smile in a picture, but that doesn't make them a good person. She is just looking for attention...

I think it's a good thing that her family is concerned about her enough to suggest that she moves back home. Hope she takes their advice, though. She seems like a real mess lately.

Something is obviously wrong with her. They need to get her help ASAP. She may be bipolar or have some kind of breakdown. She is not right.

If this isn't a cry for help I don't know what is. Amanda needs help. It's sad.

It is a widely known phenomenon that Disney Channel kids (especially the actresses) try hard to lose the 'innocent' image once they hit their late teens. Apparently the pressure to remain kid-cute in Hollywood is too much to handle.

I am sure her parents could contact a lawyer in New York City to have her competency tested. if they really wanted to take action. At this point, I would think it would be in her best interest for her parents to take this action before she really gets herself in trouble.
