Her representatives have now confirmed Kaz is set to be released from prison after spending four days behind bars.
"Kaz has fully cooperated with officials and is free to continue her journey," the representatives said.

"She had only stopped off in Abu Dhabi to catch a connecting flight but her name has obviously raised a red flag."
The source claimed Kaz was "allowed to send one email and wasn't even allowed to make a phone call".
Kaz finished third on Love Island with Josh in 2018“She messaged one particular friend whose email she could remember and asked her to inform her family that she was OK but had been arrested for drugs offences. The arrest wasn’t because of anything she had on her. As far as we know it is all down to that video," the source told The Sun.
The video clip in question shows Kaz in an orange dress leaning over a table where lines of a white substance are laid out and was shot during lockdown when influencers flew to Dubai to escape Covid restrictions in the UK.
