Britney Spears' parents fear for singer's life
Parents say they fear a 'tragedy' may occur
Britney Spears' parents have said that they fear their daughter may die soon, and that they believe she should not have been released from a medical centre yet.
The star left the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles recently, one week earlier than had initially been expected.
In a statement, Jamie and Lynne Spears said they were “extremely disappointed” that their daughter had been released.
They added: “We are deeply concerned about our daughter's safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk. We ask only that the court's orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted.”
Spears is currently under the temporary conservatorship of her father until February 14 – a measure put in when an individual in the USA is deemed no longer able to take care of themselves.
