Actress Amanda Bynes was photographed sleeping on a couch at the Beverly Center shopping mall here. The actress took to Twitter to explain herself and her current living situation.

"I was not given money for a hotel, so I have been staying with friends and I didn't get enough sleep last night, so I fell asleep on a couch @ the Beverly center and a paparazzi snuck in and took pictures of me," Bynes posted on Twitter following the release of pictures of her sleeping in the mall, reports eonline.com.

"FYI! I hate my parents for still not giving me money for a hotel. What is wrong with them? My lawyer is working to have them fully removed from being my conservator, because they don't deserve control over my money - they are miserable in their life and I will fight to get control of my finances taken away from them!"

Bynes' mother, Lynn, who was previously granted a conservatorship over her daughter's financial decisions pending a hearing set for early next year, will be stepping down as Amanda's personal conservator, said a source.

A professional conservator will be brought in to take care of Amanda's daily needs, in terms of medical decisions, while Lynn will remain on board as conservator in charge of her daughter's estate.

Bynes announced on Twitter earlier this week that she has been diagnosed as "bipolar and manic depressive".

"I'm so mad at my parents, they are withholding my belongings and money from me so I don't have new clothes or enough money to rent an apartment," the actress posted in her latest Twitter rant.

The original conservatorship hearing was held while Bynes was hospitalised on an involuntary psychiatric hold. She was later released Oct 31.
