Gypsy and her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, killed Clauddinnea "Dee Dee" Blanchard in Springfield, Missouri in June 2015.

According to the Missouri Department of Corrections, Gypsy was released from the Chillicothe Correctional Center prison on Thursday morning.

Although Gypsy, now 32, was sentenced to ten years behind bars after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in July 2016, she was granted parole after serving just over eight years of her ten-year prison sentence.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Gypsy recently addressed her mother’s shocking 2015 murder in an interview held ahead of her release from prison this week.

The 32-year-old admitted that she “regrets” murdering her mother “every single day” and that she would “redo everything” if given “another chance.”

Gypsy was released from the Chillicothe Correctional Center prison on Thursday morning.

"If I had another chance to redo everything, I don't know if I would go back to when I was a child and tell my aunts and uncles that I'm not sick and mommy makes me sick," she told PEOPLE on Wednesday.

"Nobody will ever hear me say I'm glad she's dead or I'm proud of what I did,” Gypsy acknowledged. “I regret it every single day.”

An investigation into the matter later revealed that Gypsy was likely a victim of a rare form of child abuse called "Munchausen by proxy.”

"It's a journey,” Gypsy said ahead of her prison release this week. “I'm still really trying to come to a place of forgiveness for her, for myself and the situation.”

“I still love my mom,” she continued. “And I'm starting to understand that it was something that was maybe out of her control, like an addict with an impulse. That helps me with coping and accepting what happened."
