Teenage star Jamie Lynn Spears' mother Lynne has denied reports she sent troubled Alaskan 17-year-old Bristol Palin a baby gift package on behalf of her daughter following the scandal surrounding her pregnancy.
Reports suggested Lynne called designer baby gift boutique Petit Tresor in Hollywood and ordered a stack of designer burpcloths for the daughter of US Republican vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin.
A store spokesperson told ABC News Spears included a card with the package of baby burpcloths, reading: "Dear Bristol, Hang in there! XXOO, Jamie Lynn Spears."
But Lynne Spears has denied the claims.
A spokesman tells E! News: "I just got off the phone with Lynne. I can tell you that she hasn't sent her any gifts, but that she does support Sarah and, of course, can empathise with their situation."
