Lynne Spears is hoping to reconnect with her daughter Britney Spears this Thanksgiving.
The 66-year-old has a fractured relationship with the singer, after Britney, 39, accused Lynne of being the real mastermind behind her 13-year-long conservatorship in a fiery Instagram post earlier this month.
Sources tell TMZ that Lynne arrived in Los Angeles this week to spend Thanksgiving with her son Brian, 44, but is also hoping to see Britney. But so far, no plans have been made.
In a video posted by the outlet on Monday, Lynne can be seen arriving at LAX where she confirmed to photographers that she was hoping to see her daughter over the holidays, and that she was pleased with the outcome of the conservatorship being terminated by a judge.

However, Lynne’s attempts at making amends with her daughter could be futile – as it was reported last week that Britney was ‘refusing’ to see her and did not want to reunite.
The Toxic singer is said to have denied Lynne entry to her home, weeks before her conservatorship had been terminated by a judge, PageSix reported.
It comes after Britney accused Lynne of being the orchestrator of her 13-year conservatorship, that her father Jamie Spears famously controlled, in an Instagram post this month.

‘My dad is not smart enough to ever think of a conservatorship,’ Britney said in a furious post, adding to her mother Lynne: ‘You know exactly what you did.’

Meanwhile, a source told PageSix of Lynne being turned away: ‘A few weeks before the conservatorship ended, Lynne flew to Los Angeles to try to reconnect with Britney.’

‘But Britney didn’t even let Lynne into her house. She is furious with her. Lynne tried over a number of days to try to visit, but Britney just shut her down.’
Britney accused her mother Lynne of ‘ruining’ her life in a since-deleted Instagram post this month, writing: ‘My dad may have started the conservatorship 13 years ago … but what people don’t know is that my mom is the one who gave him the idea.
‘I will never get those years back.
‘She secretly ruined my life … and yes I will call her and Lou Taylor out on it … so take your whole ‘I have NO IDEA what’s going on’ attitude and go f*** yourself!!!!’

She continued: ‘You know exactly what you did … my dad is not smart enough to ever think of a conservatorship.’
Lynne Spears in July issued a sworn statement in support of her daughter’s attempts to remove her father as conservator.
‘It is clear to me that James P. Spears is incapable of putting my daughter’s interests ahead of his own on both a professional and a personal level,’ she said.
Yet Jamie hit back, accusing Lynne of being an absent mother and claiming she was paid $150,000 a year by Britney for her mansion in Louisiana.
‘In stark contrast, it appears that Lynne is the one who is incapable of putting her daughter’s interests ahead of her own,’ Jamie Spears’ statement said.

‘Lynne has not been involved in her daughter’s life for most of the past twelve years.
‘Despite their estranged relationship, the Conservatorship Estate, during the entire duration of the Conservatorship, has paid and continues to pay for the mansion in Louisiana where Lynne lives, including all of her utility bills, weekly maid service, and all maintenance (totaling upwards of $150,000 per year and to date, nearly $2,000,000 in total).’
Britney’s accusations against her mother came just weeks before a judge finally terminated her conservatorship.
Judge Penny’s decision to dissolve the much-maligned legal arrangement comes two months after she fired the star’s dad, Jamie Spears, as the $16,000-a-month conservatorship boss who pulled the strings on his daughter’s career and welfare.
During Friday’s 30-minute hearing, Britney’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart told Judge Penny that the singer had repeatedly testified and declared in court filings that she ‘wants her life back and she wants this conservatorship to end.’

And Rosengart also pointed out that even her father Jamie had said in court documents that he ‘believes the conservatorship should be terminated without reservation or exception.’
Rosengart added: ‘The conservatorship should end now. There is no reason for another second of delay.’
Rosengart told the court that, earlier on Friday, temporary conservator Zabel had filed a ‘termination care plan’ under seal with the court, detailing how over the next few weeks he will tie up the remaining administrative ends of the conservatorship and transfer all assets to Britney’s trust.
Britney’s conservatorship was split into two parts – the estate and the person. Zabel is winding up the estate part of the conservatorship.
