As well as only finding out about their daughter's recent arrest through the media, the 28 year-old actress' parents are also unsure of her current whereabouts.
Amanda Bynes' personal life seems to be spiralling out of control once again, and her parents don't even know about it. The former teen star's latest run-in with the law occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning in Los Angeles when she was pulled over and arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Bynes' parents are unaware of her current whereabouts
Shortly after her arrest, Bynes was released on $15,000 bail and charged with DUI, but her parents still haven't spoke to her, don't know where she is and only found out about this latest incident through the press.

"We know nothing about this. We were called by the press," her father told a camera-man shooting for X17. "I'm getting calls all day long. That's all I know. You can believe me or not, I'm telling the truth."
Bynes' dad also revealed he and his wife haven't communicated to their daughter for quite some time and thought she may be currently staying in New York, but according to TMZ, the former Nickelodeon star staying in the Hollywood area right now.
Bynes, who seemed to be turning her life around after coming out of a near-6 month stay at a rehabilitation clinic late last year, was reportedly on a "stimulant" called Adderall at the time of her arrest.
While driving her Mercedes in the San Fernando Valley, Bynes was stopped on Van Nuys Blvd. in the middle of the intersection by a California Highway Patrol officer. Shortly after, she was transported to the local precinct where a drug recognition officer came to the conclusion that she was under the influence of some kind of drug.
Bynes was arrested on suspicion of DUI on Sunday
Bynes is still serving a three-year probation sentence from a DUI case that occurred over two years ago in April 2012, meaning she could end up in jail for her latest offense.
After being released from the rehab clinic, Bynes moved back into her parents' home and enrolled into FIDM -- the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, for two classes on an Orange County campus. But her mother's (Lynn Bynes) mental health conservatorship over Bynes expired on Sept 10th, and she reportedly moved out several months ago.
Maybe being independent once again was just too much for the former Nickelodeon star to handle, she has yet to comment on the incident.
