US EditionAustralian influencer claims Billie Eilish got him 'deported' from US over mansion joke
Drew Pavlou claims Billie Eilish's legal team contacted U.S. Department of Homeland Security after his public stunt to 'move into' her Los Angeles mansion led to his 30-hour detention and deportation.
- On February 15, 2026, Drew Pavlou said he was detained at LAX for over 30 hours and deported after promoting a stunt involving Billie Eilish's mansion.
- Billie Eilish's Feb. 1, 2026 Grammy speech, which included a line about no one being illegal on stolen land, prompted Pavlou to announce he would try to 'move into' her home to test that remark.
- Posting publicly, Pavlou described the plan as performance art and crowdfunded flights, raising over $3,000 on GoFundMe before switching to GiveSendGo.
- The Gabrieleño Tongva San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians confirmed Eilish's Glendale property sits on their ancestral land and said she had not contacted the tribe, prompting varied public reactions.
- Pavlou's prior protest incidents and announced trespass plan likely appeared in CBP records, with authorities citing his visa issues during routine border checks.
