Oscar-winning actress Liza Minnelli has checked into rehab facility for substance abuse.
ABC News reported that the 69-year-old star is getting treatment for alcohol abuse at an undisclosed rehab center in Malibu, Calif. A representative for Minnelli said the singer and actress has been making "excellent progress" during her several days stay at the facility.
"Liza Minnelli has valiantly battled substance abuse over the years and whenever she has needed to seek treatment she has done so. She is currently making excellent progress at an undisclosed facility," Scott Gorenstein, a spokesperson for Minnelli, said in a statement, according to the Associated Press.
This isn't Minnelli's first stint at a rehab treatment center.
TMZ reported that the actress has checked into multiple facilities for abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs. Minnelli's mother, the late Judy Garland, also struggled with addiction before passing away in 1969 from "an incautious self-overdosage" of barbiturates.
