American actress Amanda Bynes is finally free from her conservatorship after nine years.
Judge Roger L. Lund, who is assigned to Bynes’ case, announced on Tuesday that the conservatorship was no longer required.
"She's done everything the court has asked over a long period of time," he said.
After the hearing, the actress posted a headline about the ruling on her Instagram and captioned: "I'm a bird that now I can fly!".

The 35-year-old former child star filed last month to end her conservatorship of the person and estate.
The actress’s mother Lynn was granted temporary conservatorship over her daughter in August 2013 when she allegedly set a driveway on fire and was hospitalized on an involuntary psychiatric hold. She then gained full conservatorship in October 2014.
Tamar Arminak, an attorney for Bynes’ parents, told NBC News last month that they were 100 percent supportive of her decision to end the conservatorship.
The actress is known for rom-com movies like “She’s the Man”, “Hairspray”, and “What a Girl Wants”. Her last big-screen role was in 2010’s “Easy A”.
She announced her engagement to Michael, a man she met at her former sober living home in late 2019, on Valentine’s Day 2020.
Earlier this month, Bynes shared a video on Instagram in which she thanked her fans for their love and support.
The ruling on the actress’ conservatorship comes months after pop star Britney Spears had her 13-year conservatorship terminated in Los Angeles County court in November 2021.
