Carol Burnett claims legal documents to become caregiver of granddaughter Dylan, 13, over problems with daughter Erin Hamilton’s abuse
Legendary cabaret artist Carol Burnett and her third husband Brian Miller have reportedly filed legal documents to become temporary caregivers for their teenage granddaughter Dylan Joseph Hamilton.
The 87-year-old actress – who is an Oscar away from EGOT status – did so because her youngest daughter Erin Hamilton ‘recently threatened to take her own life and has been in and out of rehab eight times,’ according to The Blast.
‘The LAPD placed Erin at a 51/50 stop for suicide and drug use [in July], ‘read the petition.

‘Throughout her adult life, and since Dylan’s birth, Erin has suffered from severe substance abuse and addiction problems. Dylan’s living environment has long been unstable, unpredictable and unhealthy for a child. ‘
The 52-year-old singer, who was crowned Miss Golden Globe in 1993, was released on July 24 from Chino Hills Hospital.
Dylan’s father Kurt West is still in rehab, and the boy’s situation became so troubled that the Children and Family Services Department conducted investigations in 2018 and 2019.
The married couple of 18 years has financially supported Dylan – who turned 14 next month – his entire life including his boarding school, medical / dental insurance, and housing expenses.

The playful funny woman had two other daughters – Carrie and Jody – from her 21-year marriage to the late producer Joe Hamilton, which ended in 1984.
Carrie died at the age of 38 of pneumonia as a complication of lung and brain cancer in 2002, just three months before the Hollywood Arms, the play she co-wrote based on Burnett’s 1986 memoir One More Time in 1986.
‘My daughter Carrie got drugs. Do not be her best friend in that situation. When we got her into a third rehab, oh, she hated my gut! ‘the Toy Story 4 actress recalled to AARP on July 30.

Burnett reminds AARP on July 30: ‘My daughter Carrie got drugs. Do not be her best friend in that situation. When we got her into a third rehab, oh, she hated my gut!

‘You have to love them enough to make them hate you. She was sober for her 18th birthday, and we were well into 20 years – we were there for a while at the hips. ‘
