A US woman has requested a restraining order against Daniel Baldwin.

Helen Smith claims she started receiving threatening phone calls and text messages from the actor after she fired his niece Jennifer Keurhler, who had been working as the Smith family's nanny.

Smith told a Los Angeles Country Superior Court judge: "I know that Daniel Baldwin had had numerous issues with drugs and was concerned for the safety of my children and family."

I know that Daniel Baldwin had had numerous issues with drugs and was concerned for the safety of my children and family.

The judge has yet to rule on the restraining order.

Daniel has since issued a statement denying the harassment claims. He claims he had only contacted the Smith family because they failed to pay Keurhler money they owed her.

It read: "I am left with no option but to respond to the allegations that have been presented to me this morning. Jennifer Keurhler was fired from her nanny position and not compensated for her pre-negotiated time by Greg and Helen Smith.

"I reached out to Greg on his cell phone last week. He assured me that he was fully aware of his financial obligation to Jen and would pay her by the end of the week. The Smith's did not pay Jen the money that was promised her.

"They have chosen to stiff her for over $2,500. I am sad that they have gone on the offensive with such erroneous accusations against my character. Yes, I called Greg and left a message stating the facts. It is my intention to let the courts settle any differences between us and I will pray for them all."
