Donald Trump angers Lohan's mother

Lindsay Lohan's mother has hit back at Donald Trump's suggestion that the Mean Girls actress should "get new parents".

The entrepreneur and TV personality offered the "advice" to Lohan when asked about her drink-driving arrest in an interview with the New York Post.

Trump recommended: "Find what you love doing (other than drugs and alcohol), work hard, stay focused, get a new set of parents - then join me on Celebrity Apprentice, which is shooting soon - I'll keep you straight!”

Lohan's mother Dina has responded angrily to Trump's comments in a statement to Access Hollywood.

"Donald, I'm really disappointed in the statement that was brought to my attention from The New York Post. I've always had a great admiration for your business sense and I've read all your books and learned from them!" Dina explained.

"Your own brother died of alcoholism and you own Trump Vodka? You say Lindsay needs new parents? Such a rash statement without backing it with fact? I am a single mother of four children doing what I can during this difficult time! Do a background check of both parents and you will find the truth! Shame on you ... so many families suffer from this, yours included. We need solutions not opinions!"
