Billie Eilish has been granted a permanent restraining order against a man who turned up to her house several times, per Sky News.
The 18-year-old previously secured a temporary restraining order against Prenell Rousseau, but now, Los Angeles County Superior Court judge Dianna Gould-Saltman has extended it for three years.
The man had reportedly visited Eilish's home in Los Angeles on a number of occasions, and even sat on her porch to read a book. Per the publication, 24-year-old Rousseau, who hails from New York, appeared at Eilish's home, which she shares with her parents, seven times on the 4th and 5th of May this year.
He allegedly ran the doorbell on the first instance and asked Eilish's father whether she resided there via a surveillance camera. Despite being told that he had the wrong property, he returned later in the evening. Her father proceeded to ring their private security service, and the individual was apprehended for trespassing.
According to TMZ, despite the state of California telling residents to wear a face-covering while outdoors to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, Mr. Rousseau was not wearing a face mask, and was touching the doorbell and doorknob without gloves.
The restraining order now prohibits him from attempting to contact Eilish, her family, or coming to her workplaces, it also bans him from coming within yards (91 metres) of her or her parents.

My father repeatedly asked him to leave, but he refused."
Eilish's legal team at McPherson LLP were hoping that the restraining order would be for five years instead of three, but it can still be extended or amended if a judge deems it necessary in the future.
