Actress Dakota Johnson is openly battling her Los Angeles neighbours over the towering bamboo plants in her driveway.

The "Fifty Shades of Grey" star shared the information in a new video for Architectural Digest, in which she gives viewers a tour of her cosy Hollywood home, formerly owned by "Glee" and "American Horror Story" co-creator Ryan Murphy.

At one point, Johnson took the cameras into her yard, where she shows off a table and chairs said to have been made with wood from Winston Churchill's yacht, and points to the tall bamboo plants lining her outdoor space, said they have become a point of contention with her next door neighbours.

She said: "Bamboo grows so crazy fast... My neighbours... are in a war with me about how high the bamboo in the driveway is growing, which is insane, because why would I want people to be able to see in my house...? So they can just shove it."

She made it clear she has no plans to trim the plants.
