        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Comedy legend Carol Burnett is seeking custody of her grandson, Dylan, over her daughter Erin Hamilton&#8217;s allegedly ongoing battle with substance abuse.</p><p>&#8220;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,&#8221; Burnett, 87, told Page Six in a statement on Thursday.</p><p>&#8220;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,&#8221; the statement continues. &#8220;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.&#8221;</p><p>The court documents — <strong>obtained by The Blast</strong> — note that Burnett and Miller are only seeking temporary custody.</p><p>&#8220;Throughout her adult life, and since Dylan&#8217;s birth, Erin has suffered from severe substance abuse and addiction issues,&#8221; Burnett claims in the filing, according to the site. &#8220;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,&#8221; it also alleges.</p><p>&#8220;Dylan&#8217;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,&#8221; the court documents also allege, according to The Blast.</p><p>The filing reveals a host of alleged details about 52-year-old Erin&#8217;s struggle. In July, Hamilton was placed on an involuntary 5150 psychiatric hold following a suicide attempt; Burnett contacted the LAPD for a wellness check. Dylan&#8217;s father, Kurt West, recently checked into rehab himself, the filing also claims, and the Department of Children and Family Services investigated the family in 2018 and 2019.</p><p>Hamilton, who is Burnett&#8217;s youngest daughter, is a singer who has notched multiple hits on the US dance charts, including two number ones in 2008. Dylan, born in 2006, is the younger of her two children; her elder, Zach, was born in 1997.</p><p>Burnett&#8217;s eldest daughter, Carrie, also dealt with substance abuse prior to getting sober before her 18th birthday. (Burnett&#8217;s third daughter is Jody, age 53.) &#8220;When we got [Carrie] into a third rehab, oh, she hated my guts,&#8221; <strong>Burnett told AARP magazine</strong>. &#8220;You have to love them enough to let them hate you.&#8221; Carrie died of complications from cancer in 2002 at 38.</p><p>In 2019, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association <strong>established a Golden Globe award in Burnett&#8217;s name</strong> for career achievement in television. Steve Carell presented the inaugural statuette to Burnett.</p><p>Hamilton and West could not immediately be reached for comment.</p>]]></content:encoded>
