Grand Theft Auto V was released in September, with sales topping $US800 million ($AU866 million) on its first day.

Lohan’s suit says a character named Lacey Jonas is an “unequivocal” reference to the Mean Girls and Freaky Friday star.

The suit says Lohan’s image, voice and styles from her clothing line are depicted.

It says the game features West Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont hotel, where Lohan once lived.

The character also seeks help skirting paparazzi.
