Amanda Bynes is officially out of the psych ward.

TMZ reports that the star has been moved from the psych ward of UCLA Medical Center to The Canyon, a "ritzy rehab place" in Malibu.

Rick and Lynn Bynes, the parents of the troubled actress, say the move was at the recommendation of doctors at UCLA. The couple would go on to state that Amanda is making "great strides towards recovery."

Though she is making progress, Bynes had allegedly faced difficulty on her road to recovery due to her surroundings. According to sources close to the actress, "Amanda was stuck with people in much worse condition than her. She was scared, afraid and did not leave her immediate room area." Tamar Arminak, the lawyer for Rick and Lynn Bynes, adds that Amanda now "is getting specialized psych care, one on one treatment, not drug rehab."

Sources claim Amanda is now able to "walk around the grounds, see the ocean and ride the horses."
