Billie Eilish interrupted her headline performance at Coachella on Saturday to call for security.

In the middle of her powerful song "Goldwing," Eilish paused to ask the audience, "You OK in there?"

She then pointed to a spot in the crowd and said, "Security, over there."

Eilish is known for keeping an eye out for fans during her live shows. While headlining New York City's Governors Ball last September, she chastised security for not "paying attention" during her set.

Back in February, she stopped a concert in Austin, Texas to help a fan retrieve an inhaler.

"I wait for people to be OK until I keep going," she said onstage.

This comment was perceived as a slight against Travis Scott, whose performance at the Astroworld Festival last November saw 10 people die of compression asphyxia.

Eilish's fellow Coachella headliner Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, even threatened to drop out of the festival if she didn't apologize to Scott.

"Literally never said a thing about Travis," Eilish replied on Instagram. "Was just helping a fan."

Ye did withdraw from the festival's lineup earlier this month, though he didn't clarify why. His slot was filled by The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia, who performed a joint set on Sunday.
