Amanda Bynes’ fire damage will be cleaned up at the cost of a rap producer, it was reported. Bynes allegedly set fire to a driveway belonging to a woman in Southern California on Monday.

TMZ reported that producer Daniel Herman, owner of Chinga Chang Records, paid to clean up the some $1,000 in damages done by the former Nickelodeon star.

Herman told TMZ that he wants to sign Bynes, who in the past said wanted to be a rap star, to his label.

Herman said he called the elderly woman who owns the driveway, saying he would clean the damage up.

E! News this weekend reported that Bynes’ mental-health hold was extended for up to two weeks. She was originally supposed to be released last week.

According to the website, Rick and Lynne Bynes--her parents--asked her doctors to recommend to a judge that she should stay in a hospital.

She was detained by Ventura County Sheriff’s deputies on Monday and was put on a 5150 hold. The 27-year-old allegedly started the fire near her parents’ home in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

In a court filing, her parents said that Bynes wrote $63,000 in checks since May 3, while making bank withdrawals of $100,000 in the past two months to fuel her drug addiction and odd behavior, according to the New York Daily News.

Earlier this month, Bynes was charged with reckless endangerment and attempted tampering with physical evidence after she was arrested in May after building officials called police to complain she was smoking pot in the lobby, reported The Associated Press. Police officers went to her house and found she had a bong on the kitchen counter, and they said she then threw it out the window in front of them.
