Amanda Bynes flaunts Ozempic weight loss in miniskirt as she surfaces after reacting to death of fellow child star Hayden Panettiere
Amanda Bynes showed off her slimmed-down frame in a flattering ensemble when she was seen dashing around Los Angeles this week.
The 40-year-old revealed in December that she had shed 28lbs with the assistance of Ozempic, and has continued to lose weight in the intervening months.
She appeared trimmer than ever when she surfaced for her latest sighting with her event planner boyfriend Zachary Khan.
Showing off her svelte legs in a white-trimmed silver miniskirt, she slipped into a loose-fitted white t-shirt with ‘NEW YORK CITY’ splashed across the front.
Bynes wore her platinum hair swept back and accessorized the ensemble with a white handbag, bringing the look together with pale purple sneakers.
Although Bynes has kept her latest relationship largely out of the public eye, she posted a loving tribute to Khan this Valentine’s Day.
The Daily Mail has contacted Bynes’ representative for comment.

She fired up her Instagram and shared a video of the pair of them driving around at night, accompanied by the caption: ‘love u zachary.’
Bynes went viral last week for her public reaction to the death of her fellow former child star Hayden Panettiere at the age of 36.
Panettiere was found dead of a suspected overdose on August 16 at an Airbnb in Greenville, South Carolina, where she had traveled with her on-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson, a native of the state.
Hickerson, who conducted a turbulent romance with Panettiere and once went to jail for abusing her, was on the scene along with his brother Zachary when she was pronounced dead, according to a heavily redacted police report. Her autopsy found ‘no signs of trauma’ that ‘would have contributed to the death.’
Bynes responded to the news by posting old headlines about an interview Panettiere gave in 2013 claiming she had been able to avoid the flameouts suffered by contemporaries like Bynes or Lindsay Lohan.
‘Life can hit you hard, and fast. What a horrible situation,’ wrote Bynes. When a commenter admonished her to ‘please be kind,’ she doubled down, replying: ‘I was simply stating… glass houses.’
Bynes’ meltdown unfolded in the headlines from 2012 through 2014 as she struggled with bipolar disorder, abused substances and had repeated brushes with the law including two DUIs and two hit-and-runs.
In 2013, her parents Lynn and Rick obtained a conservatorship of her that they held until 2022, when she was released with their approval.

She was placed in a 5150 psychiatric hold in 2023 after ‘roaming the streets naked and alone,’ then beckoning a passing car and dialing 911, according to TMZ.
Her parents did not seek to reestablish the conservatorship, having taken note of the fact that she realized she was unwell and sought treatment herself.
Last December, Bynes had proudly informed her followers on social media that she used to weigh 180lbs but had ‘lost 28lbs on ozempic!’
Posting an image of herself, she said she was ‘down to 152lbs,’ adding: ‘I know I still look big but this photo is really inspiring to me!’
She had announced last June that she was ‘going on Ozempic,’ amid the craze of weight loss injectables sweeping the entertainment industry.
Bynes declared herself ‘so excited’ and explained that she hoped ‘to get down to like 130, which would be awesome so I look better in paparazzi pictures.’
By November, she revealed: ‘I’ve lost 20 pounds so far. I’m so excited about that, to be honest. Also, I want to lose about 50 more pounds.’
Speaking to fans via her Insta Stories, she specified that she was ‘163 now,’ noting she ‘actually shot up on the Ozempic pill, shot up to 180 from 173. So I was able to lose twenty pounds from 180 and now I’m down to 163 on the Ozempic injection.’
The Sydney White actress shared that the injectable was ‘working’ and she was ‘trying to lose more weight just to feel skinny and cute.’
She had explained in 2024 that depression caused her to gain 20lbs, divulging that her ultimate goal was to return to her teenage weight of 110lbs; pictured in 2002 aged 16

The She’s the Man star had lip fillers installed last August and in 2023 confirmed she had gotten excess skin surgically taken off her eyelids.
She referred to the eyelid surgery – which is known as a blepharoplasty – as ‘one of the best things I could have ever done for my self-confidence.’
Among the many recent changes she has made to her appearance was a tattoo she had applied last May of the Roman numeral X on one of her fingers, honoring her 10-year ‘best friend anniversary’ with her close pal Dylan, who got matching ink.
In April, the former child star swapped out her previously platinum locks for raven hair, although she has since decided to go back to blonde.
She performed a similar volte-face on her eyebrows, which had been dyed various dark colors for years before she turned them a natural shade of light brown last month, only to change her mind and make them black again.
This June, she announced on Instagram that she plans to have a set of gold bottom teeth installed as a replacement for her veneers.
