Australian influencer claims Billie Eilish got him 'deported' from US over mansion joke
Australian activist Drew Pavlou was detained over 30 hours at LAX after publicly pledging to squat in Billie Eilish's multimillion-dollar Los Angeles home as a stunt.
- On February 15, 2026, Drew Pavlou said he was denied entry to the U.S. after promoting a stunt to move into Billie Eilish's mansion, spending over 30 hours in custody at Los Angeles International Airport.
- After setting up crowdfunding, Pavlou announced on Feb. 1 he would 'move into' Billie Eilish's Malibu mansion as 'performance art' and raised over $3,000 before his page was removed.
- Border agents questioned Pavlou whether he planned to trespass; airport authorities told him he entered on the wrong visa and he was sent home, according to reports.
- Reporting found no evidence to confirm Pavlou's claim that the Toronto Sun contacted DHS, which has not responded at the time of reporting.
- Observers argued the routine border‑screening explanation has been largely drowned out by viral coverage, while the $3,000,000 Los Angeles property sits on land of the Gabrieleño Tongva San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians.
