Amy Winehouse broke down in tears as Lindsay Lohan was jailed on Tuesday (July 20), it's been reported.

The Hollywood actress was sentenced in Los Angeles to 90 days behind bars for probation violation.

As Lohan was led away, Winehouse was apparently overcome with emotion as she realised she could have found herself in a similar position.

“After she hit a fan for the second time, Amy was only a judge’s decision away from going to the slammer herself,” a source told the Daily Star.

“She now realises how out of control she was. She was pretty emotional as she told her dad how grateful she was for his love and thanked him for helping her get back on the straight and narrow.”

As previously reported, Winehouse was spotted partying with rappers Nas and Damian Marley in London in the early hours of this morning.
