In the documents, the application is reported to have been requested by Eilish, her brother Finneas O’Connell, and their parents after the January 5 incident.

The 21-year-old singer explained, in a statement, that Christopher Anderson entered the premises of her parents’ home in Highland Park in an attempt to meet her, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The man, according to Eilish, showed up “unannounced and uninvited after apparently professing his love for me and expressing that he really wanted to meet me.”

“He declared his love for my daughter”

Patrick O’Connell, Eilish’s father, said the man approached the house on several occasions in 2022 and put a cell phone under the door on December 28. In addition, the father recounted that Anderson left a flower and a note in which he “declared his love for my daughter Billie, stated that at some point Billie had been watching Mr. Anderson and writing songs about Mr. Anderson, and that the Mr. Anderson I was looking forward to meeting Billie,” said the LA Times.

Faced with this problem, the singer is having “substantial anxiety, fear and emotional distress” for her safety. The statement reads: “Unfortunately, this is not the first time that an unknown individual has attempted to contact me and my family specifically by stalking us outside my family home and making professions of love and threats of violence against me.”

“However, each of those occasions, including this one, causes me substantial anxiety, fear and emotional distress for my personal safety and that of my father, mother and brother.”

For now, according to Eilish’s words, she doesn’t feel safe going back to her childhood home.
