Judge's ruling will end Amanda Bynes' 9-year conservatorship

• A judge ruled Tuesday Amanda Bynes' conservatorship can officially end.
• Bynes first filed to terminate her conservatorship in February.

Amanda Bynes' nine-year conservatorship will officially come to an end, a judge ruled Tuesday.

Through her attorney David A. Esquibias, the former Nickelodeon star shared a statement with People in response to the ruling.

"I would like to thank my fans for their love and well wishes during this time. I would also like to thank my lawyer and my parents for their support over the last nine years," Bynes said.

"In the last several years, I have been working hard to improve my health so that I can live and work independently, and I will continue to prioritize my well-being in this next chapter," she continued. "I am excited about my upcoming endeavors — including my fragrance line — and look forward to sharing more when I can."

Bynes' attorney did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Bynes rose to fame as a child star on Nickelodeon sketch comedies "All That" and "The Amanda Show." She went on to achieve teen stardom with blockbusters like "Big Fat Liar," "What a Girl Wants," "She's the Man," and "Hairspray."

She abruptly announced her retirement in 2010 after starring alongside Emma Stone and Penn Badgley in "Easy A."

Her conservatorship was created in August 2013 after she was arrested multiple times and placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold for setting a fire in a stranger's driveway.

The arrangement granted Bynes' mother, Lynn Organ, legal control of her medical and financial decisions.

Bynes later attributed her self-described "strange" behavior to marijuana and Adderall abuse.

"I was high on marijuana when I saw ['Easy A'] but for some reason it really started to affect me," she told Paper in 2018. "I don't know if it was a drug-induced psychosis or what, but it affected my brain in a different way than it affects other people. It absolutely changed my perception of things."

She strongly denied living with mental illness, as many tabloids claimed at the time.

"Everybody is different, obviously, but for me, the mixture of marijuana and whatever other drugs and sometimes drinking really messed up my brain," she told Paper.

Bynes filed to terminate her conservatorship last month, a move that her parents reportedly supported. At the time, her attorney told People, "her condition is improved and protection of the court is no longer necessary."
