Liza Minnelli has checked into a Malibu rehab seeking alcohol dependency treatment.
The actress-singer’s rep confirmed to ET: “Liza Minnelli has valiantly battled substance abuse over the years and whenever she has needed to seek treatment she has done so.”
Liza Minnelli, 69, has been open about her past trips to rehab, including a stint in 2004, and her battle with alcoholism.
“This is a disease, and the sooner we know that the better,” she told James Lipton on a 2006 episode of Inside the Actors Studio.
“It’s a disease you don’t have to succumb to.”
Liza Minnelli’s rep said that “she is currently making excellent progress at an undisclosed facility”.
