PER CURIAM.

     Kaylin Hevia appeals from the trial court’s order finding her
in violation of her probation and sentencing her to a term of 120
days in jail with credit for 30 days. On review of the record, we
reject Appellant’s argument that the trial court prejudged the
matter, as well as Appellant’s argument that the trial court erred
in its finding of a violation. However, although the trial court
issued a ruling from the bench finding that Appellant had violated
her probation and stating the conditions that had been violated,
the trial court failed to enter an order that set forth in writing the
conditions that were found to have been violated and whether
those violations were willful and substantial. Because the trial
court’s findings are supported by competent, substantial evidence
and, if reduced to writing, would be adequate to sustain the trial
court’s finding of a willful and substantial violation of probation,
we affirm but remand the matter for entry of a proper order. See
Fla. R. App. P. 9.020(h); see also Perez v. State, 958 So. 2d 1076
(Fla. 5th DCA 2007); Barta v. State, 678 So. 2d 923 (Fla. 5th DCA
1996).

    AFFIRMED; REMANDED for Entry of a Proper Order.

EDWARDS, C.J., and WALLIS and PRATT, JJ., concur.
