Lori Loughlin’s daughterscelebrated Independence Daytogether amid their parent’s ongoing legal battle in thecollege admissions scandal.
Olivia Jade, 19, and her sister Isabella Rose, 20, were spotted on Thursday attending a Fourth of July party with friends in Malibu, California.
Both sisters opted for patriotic looks, with Olivia Jade wearing a white crop top with a pair of matching pants while Isabella went with a red dress with white polka dots.
The outing occurred two months after PEOPLE confirmed that Olivia Jade hadmoved outof her parents’ Bel-Air mansion to try and regain some privacy.
“Olivia is doing well. What’s going on with her parents is still upsetting to her, but she is also trying to focus on her own life as well,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “Her parents still face a lot of media attention. There is paparazzi at the family house every day. It’s very stressful for everyone. Olivia has decided to move out for now. She doesn’t want to be followed when she leaves her home.”
Although the influencer has been keeping a relatively low profile, she has been spending time with her friends. Shortly after moving out, Olivia Jadeenjoyed a night out, while in May shehung outwith YouTubers Heath Hussar and David Dobrik.

Breaking his silenceon Loughlin’s alleged involvement with the scandal last month, herFuller HousecostarJohn Stamosdidn’t clarify whether a final decision had been made regarding whether the actress would return for theshow’s final season.
“I haven’t been on the show yet and it hasn’t come up, so I’m going to talk to some people about it this week and see what’s going on,” Stamos, who is producing the season, toldEntertainment Tonight. “It’s a difficult situation for everyone involved.”
The Netflix series, which was picked up for a fifth and final season in January, began filming three months after Loughlin, 54, was accused of paying to have her daughters admitted to college as crew recruits — despite the fact that they do not participate in the sport.
