Carol Burnett’s Estranged Daughter Erin Hamilton Speaks Out as Son’s Guardianship Ends

Erin Hamilton, Carol Burnett’s estranged daughter, spoke out about her son Dylan’s court-ordered guardianship ending as he turns 18. She expressed excitement about rebuilding their relationship, noting that Dylan graduated from high school and is now attending film school in New York. Erin shared her pride in Dylan’s achievements and her gratitude for the support he received during the guardianship.

In 2020, Carol and her husband became coguardians of Dylan due to Erin's struggles with addiction. Over time, Erin had supervised visitations, although her behavior led to visitation restrictions. Despite this, she maintained her sobriety and expressed her desire to reconnect with her son.

As the guardianship nears its end, Erin reflected on her sobriety journey and the positive steps she’s taken. She highlighted the importance of her job in treatment, her participation in a 12-step program, and her commitment to staying sober. Erin hopes to strengthen her relationship with Dylan as he enters adulthood.
