LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- After former "Prison Break" star Lane Garrison was released from prison Wednesday morning, the actor sought the help of Jessica Simpson and her family.

According to E! Online, Garrison visited Simpson's parents' Encino home from 1 PM to 4:30 PM. Joe Simpson, who was Garrison's youth minister in their native Texas, along with Jessica, welcomed the actor into their home.

According to E!, Ashlee Simpson was not present. Following his visit with the Simpson family, Garrison went directly to a Tarzana rehab center.

"I'm blessed to be alive," Garrison told E! "I'm just worried about getting through treatment right now... I'm looking forward to getting on with my life and doing the right thing and helping people."

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, last week the actor settled a lawsuit with Michelle Ohana and the parents of Vahagn Setian, a 17-year-old high school student who was killed after the actor got behind the wheel while intoxicated in 2006. Garrison was driving a 2001 Land Rover when he lost control and rammed into a tree.

The crash killed his passenger, Setian, who was a student at Beverly Hills High School. Two girls in the car - including Ohana - who was 15 at the time, survived.

    la guera, if he killed your child, would you be for giving him a second chance? he does some paltry jail time and is off to live his life, but that child is dead - forever. And what was the perv doing with a car full of young teen girls anyway? I hope his life sucks.

    I am sorry for the loss and my heart goes out to those involved, but they have to take some responsibility for themselves to. They got into a vehicle with him being intoxicated, but it is not right either way. However, he has to learn to live with the fact that he is responsible for ones death. That will live with him forever! Pray for him don't criticize him and pray for the families of a

    I'm just Anti-Jessica Simpson for getting publicity out of this, so I'm routing for her to hook up with her friend so Tony leaves her dumb a$$ =)

    My sympathies go out to the families of those two teenage girls, especially the seventeen year-old who lost her life. All I can say is that time will tell if he is truly remorseful and wants to be a better person.
