“My family and I continue to advocate and fight for the proper care of my father,” Shannon said in a statement to PEOPLE. “I am pleased that Kelly is being held accountable for his actions which have put my father’s health at risk, and look forward to resolving this matter in private with the proper authorities.”

Shannon continued, “Despite false accusations and defamatory statements being made against me, I remain committed to ensuring that he receives the best medical care. John Amos may be known as ‘America's Dad’, but for me, he is my father.”

A rep for Shannon, a film producer, emphasized the animosity between the two was "not a sibling rivalry.”

"The family and Shannon are all working together to get John the care he needs," the rep added. "In fact, he actually told Shannon’s daughter that he did not recall any of the statements he previously made regarding this issue."

K.C., 52, was arrested on Saturday in West Orange, New Jersey, after allegedly threatening to “kill Shannon with the purpose to put her in imminent fear of death,” according to the complaint obtained by PEOPLE.

The filing stated that Shannon believed “the immediacy of the threat and the likelihood that it would be carried out” after K.C. allegedly sent her text messages with photos of firearms and gang affiliations which made her “fear for her life.”
