Amanda Bynes is apparently rejecting help from family amid worrying reports about her increasingly bizarre antics.
The actress' recent behaviour has been described as 'tragic' by a woman claiming to be a relative in an interview published by InTouch magazine.
A day after she stepped out on her 27th birthday, alone and looking disheveled, the woman tells the tabloid: 'She's completely resisting any help that her family wants to give her.'
All alone: Amanda Bynes was alone in New York as she turned 27 on Wednesday
InTouch apparently contacted her parents' home on March 28 when the interview was conducted.
Friends have allegedly said her parents don't know what to do as Amanda has cut contact with everyone since she moved from Los Angeles to New York following some legal trouble and to pursue her dreams of becoming a fashion designer.
She has reportedly settled two hit-and-run cases after reaching a civil compromise with her victims, saving herself from a potential 12 months in jail.
Still the move to New York didn't get her out of hot water.
TMZ reported earlier this year Amanda was evicted from her apartment for being a 'building nuisance', as neighbours apparently complained about smelling marijuana smoke from her abode.
InTouch also accuses her worrying staff at New York City's W Times Square hotel during a recent stay.
'She'd come down to the lobby wearing a different wig each day,' an 'eyewitness' said, adding that in one instance she was 'found her curled up in the corner of the gym smoking — with no pants on!'

The actress was once a bright young star of Nickelodeon but her recent antics apparently have her loved ones deeply concerned.
Amanda's worried family are said to be trying to get her to leave New York and move closer to them in Los Angeles.
But the disturbed star is reportedly refusing to move back to the West Coast to allow them to keep a closer eye on her.
She was pictured on Wednesday walking aimlessly around the city by herself in a disheveled state.
Her newly tinted pink hair was mattered and hidden underneath a fur-trimmed hooded jacket and she covered her eyes behind dark sunglasses.
She was wearing almost the same outfit that she wore two days prior - tracksuit pants, sandals and a cotton top.

Her appearance came amid reports Amanda's credit card was declined at a New York City hair salon last month.
Manager of The New York Blow Dry Bar toldHollywoodLifethe actress came for a pampering session on March 28, spent 15 minutes in the bathroom, refused to take off her sunglasses while her hair was washed and then 'ran out on her bill'.
'She had bad extensions and we were working around her sunglasses and extensions. We gave her a great blowout,' the manager said.
'We ran her credit card twice and it was declined. She was also trying to buy some hairspray too. Then she bolted on us, and took the hairspray with her!'
Apparently that didn't stop Amanda from returning two days later, although the manager, who was not identified, said the salon was too booked at the time to squeeze her in.

The actress posted these pictures of herself on Wednesday via Twitter,
which she often uses as a platform for strange rants
Amanda
meanwhile had fans baffled this week after claiming the first pictures
of her with rose-coloured hair were actually of an imposter.
In a strange tweet posted on Tuesday night, she wrote: 'Fake or real microdermals same glasses! I don't own those clothes and I'm a blonde! Haha!'
Afterwards, the starlet posted pictures to try prove she is a blonde once and for all.
But by Wednesday morning, the Twitter rant had been deleted, replaced with 'Rawr' and a new image showing only half of her face, not revealing her hair.
Amanda has posted a string of strange Twitter messages in recent weeks, including a rang about an unnamed ex and crude message saying she wanted rapper Drake to 'murder her vagina'.
This week she has continued with more selfies of her eyes and puckered lips.
On Thursday she simply wrote: 'When you're in love, only one persons opinion of you matters.'
