Singer Ariana Grande has been granted a five-year restraining order against a man she says visited her Los Angeles home multiple times and threatened to kill her.

The restraining order was approved by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Reginald Neal on Tuesday, according to court documents seen by Insider. It also protects her husband, Dalton Gomez.

Grande said in a request for the protective order, also seen by Insider, that a 25-year-old man named Aharon Zebulun Brown visited her home multiple times, including a time in September when he brandished a knife and told the singer's security guard, "I'll fucking kill you and her."

Los Angeles Police detective Peter Doomanis said in a written statement included in the protective order request that officers detained Brown after the incident.

"Upon conducting a pat down search of Mr. Brown, LAPD officers recovered a knife from Mr. Brown's front pant pocket," he said.

It remains unclear if Brown has been charged with any crimes. According to NBC News, he was being held at North County Correctional Facility on $140,000 bail in September. But his name no longer appears in an inmate search.

Grande's manager, Roshad Ismail, said in a statement in the protective order request that Brown had visited Grande's home on "sporadic" occasions since February, but in September he visited almost every day.

Ismail said Grande never personally met or made contact with Brown.

Grande said in the order request that it "terrifies" her knowing he had visited her home regularly for months.

"Based on his threats, I am fearful for my safety and for the safety of my family," she said. "I fear that absent a restraining order, Mr. Brown will continue to come to my home and attempt to physically harm or murder me or members of my family."
