- Someone reportedly tried to break into the LA home of Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell's parents.
- The suspect hopped a fence into the yard, according to ABC7, but it's unclear if anything was taken.
Someone tried to break into the childhood home of Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell on Thursday evening, the Los Angeles Police Department told ABC7.
The LAPD told ABC7 that officers responded to a call around 9:15 pm local time after a man hopped a fence into the yard of the home.
It remains unclear if he tried to take anything from the home, but a spokesperson for the LAPD told Insider that a suspect was booked on burglary charges on Thursday night.
The spokesperson said the suspect was wearing all-black clothing when they were taken into custody. Video of the suspect being handcuffed and taken into custody was posted to the Citizen app.
Eilish and O'Connell grew up in the Los Angeles suburb of Highland Park and homeschooled by their parents, Patrick O'Connell and Maggie Baird, who still reside in the same house.
O'Connell now lives in Los Feliz with his influencer girlfriend Claudia Sulewski. Eilish revealed in 2021 that she had been living in her own house for "a couple of years," but still spends plenty of nights in her childhood bedroom.
"I just love my parents, so I want to be around them," she told Rolling Stone.
In early 2021, Eilish was granted a five-year civil harassment restraining order against John Matthews Hearle, a 23-year-old man she accused of stalking and harassment.
According to court documents reviewed by Insider, Hearle regularly "camped" across the street from Eilish's family home. The Grammy-winning singer said he frequently made threatening hand gestures and left "extremely disturbing and threatening" letters on the property, which included several death threats.
Eilish has also discussed her need for security following her breakneck rise to stardom as a teenager.
She said it was a "nightmare" when crowds of people began to recognize her in public, although her private life has remained largely the same.
"My relationship with my home has not changed, just like with my parents and my brother," Eilish told V magazine last March. "I think it's a bit jarring for some people who grew up with me or haven't seen me in a long time. [They] come over to see us and see that it's exactly the same. It's as if you walked in here and it's 2003."
It's unknown if Eilish or any members of her family were present when the attempted break-in occurred on Thursday.
Representatives for Eilish and O'Connell did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
