Billie Eilish files for restraining order against man accused of breaking into her parents' home and professing 'his love' for her: report

• Billie Eilish is seeking a restraining order against a man accused of breaking into her parents' home.
• She said she does not "feel safe returning to my childhood home," according to the Los Angeles Times.

Grammy award-winning singer Billie Eilish has filed for a restraining order against a 39-year-old man accused of breaking into her parents' home in Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Citing court documents, the L.A. Times report said the request would cover Eilish, her brother Finneas O'Connell, and their parents following the incident on January 5.

The "Bad Guy" and "Bury a Friend" singer said in a statement that Christopher Anderson broke into her parents' home in Highland Park in an attempt to meet her, per the Times.

Eilish is quoted as saying that Anderson turned up "unannounced and uninvited after apparently professing his love for me and expressing that he really wanted to meet me."

According to the report, Eilish's father, Patrick O'Connell, also made a statement that said the intruder approached their house several times in December 2022 and pushed a cell phone under the gate on December 28.

O'Connell wrote that Anderson left a flower and a handwritten note that "professed his love for my daughter Billie, claimed that at some point in time Billie had been watching Mr. Anderson and writing songs about Mr. Anderson, and that Mr. Anderson really wanted to meet Billie," said the Times.

Eilish is further quoted as saying that the incident has caused her "substantial anxiety, fear, and emotional distress."

The statement reads: "Regrettably, this is not the first time an unknown individual has attempted to contact my family and me specifically by stalking us outside my family's home and by making professions of love to and threats of violence against me.

"However, each such occasion, including the present one, causes me substantial anxiety, fear, and emotional distress over my personal safety and that of my father, mother, and brother."

The singer added, "I do not feel safe returning to my childhood home," because of the break-in.

Anderson was arrested on suspicion of burglary by the Los Angeles Police Department following the January 5 incident, said the report, and is currently being held in the North County Correctional Facility in Castaic.
