Kim Kardashian West has reportedly enlisted her lawyers to help free Cyntoia Brown.

Brown was convicted as an adult at the age of 16 to a 60-year prison sentence for the murder of a man who allegedly used her for sex.

Brown, now 29, admitted to fatally shooting 43-year-old realtor Johnny Mitchell Allen in Tennessee in 2004.

Her case has recently made headlines after being tweeted about by celebrities like Rihanna and Kardashian West.

Kardashian West's lawyer Shawn Holley told The Blast she will have a conference call to open a discussion about Brown's case on Friday.

Kim Kardashian West has directed her lawyers to help free a 29-year-old woman sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a man who allegedly used her for sex, an individual with knowledge of the situation confirmed to INSIDER.

Cyntoia Brown fatally shot Johnny Mitchell Allen, a 43-year-old realtor who allegedly used her for sex, in Tennessee in 2004. Brown was 16 at the time, and was convicted as an adult to a 60-year prison sentence that would see her face the possibility of parole at the age of 69.

Brown has recently made headlines after celebrities like Kardashian West and Rihanna tweeted about her case using the hashtag "#FreeCyntoiaBrown."

As INSIDER has confirmed, Kardashian West is seeking action following her tweet about Brown on Tuesday.

"The system has failed," the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star tweeted. "It's heart breaking to see a young girl sex trafficked then when she has the courage to fight back is jailed for life! We have to do better & do what's right. I've called my attorneys yesterday to see what can be done to fix this. #FreeCyntoiaBrown."

According to court documents from 2014, Brown believed that Allen was reaching for a gun when she "reacted" by taking a gun out of her purse and firing the weapon at the back of Allen's head. She admitted to shooting him, and said she had never used the gun before.

Kardashian West's attorney Shawn Holley told The Blast that the reality TV star "asked [her] to help her find a way to help these women."

In addition to helping Brown, the site reports that Kardashian West has enlisted Holley to assist Alice Johnson, 62, who is serving 21 years of a life sentence for a first-time, non-violent drug offense.

"We have already contacted Alice Johnson and her team of lawyers who are now actively trying to find ways to facilitate her release," Holley told The Blast.

The defense attorney — who was part of lawyer Johnnie Cochran's team representing O.J. Simpson, alongside Kardashian West's late father, Robert Kardashian — told The Blast that she will open discussions about Brown's case in a conference call on Friday.
