Carol Burnett is reportedly seeking custody of her grandson, Dylan, over her daughter Erin Hamilton’s alleged substance abuse.

“Due to addiction issues and other circumstances that my daughter, Erin, has been struggling with impacting her immediate family dynamic, my husband [Brian Miller] and I have petitioned the court to be appointed legal guardian of my 14-year-old grandson,” the comedian told Page Six.

“Guardianship will be for oversight purposes concerning his health, education and welfare and not intended to deny him nor the parents proper visitation with one another,” the statement continued. “We look forward to recovery being the next stepping stone towards normalization and ask for privacy at this time to allow that process to occur.”

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Carol and Brian are only seeking temporary custody.

“Throughout her adult life, and since Dylan’s birth, Erin has suffered from severe substance abuse and addiction issues,” Carol said in the filing. “In the past 19 years, Erin has been in and out of rehabilitation centers and has been institutionalized a total of eight times for a minimum of 30 days each time,” it also alleges.

“Dylan’s living environment has long been unstable, unpredictable and unhealthy for a child. This culminated in a Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) investigation and juvenile dependency proceedings in 2018 and 2019,” the court documents also allege.

The filing reveals details about Erin’s struggle. For example, in July, she was placed on an involuntary 5150 psychiatric hold following a suicide attempt.

Carol contacted the LAPD for a wellness check. Dylan’s father, Kurt West, recently checked into rehab himself and the Department of Children and Family Services investigated the family in 2018 and 2019.

Erin is Carol’s youngest daughter. She is a singer and has had multiple hits on the dance charts, including two number ones in 2008.

We’re so sad to hear about the situation, but we’re also happy that Dylan has a safe space to call home.
