Billie Eilish faces calls to return her $3m mansion to native tribe or home migrants after Grammys declaration that ‘No one is prohibited on stolen land’
Pop star Billie Eilish has been hit with calls to either return her $3 million Los Angeles mansion to a Native American tribe or welcome migrants inside following her controversial Grammys declaration.
The 24-year-old singer won a Grammy for her hit song Wildflower on Sunday, but it was her acceptance speech that got the country talking.
‘As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land,’ Eilish said, referencing the colonization of the Americas by Europeans.
As she stood alongside her brother Finneas, who co-wrote and produced the song, Eilish continued to address the ongoing immigration raids going on across the US.
‘It’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I just feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting, and our voices really do matter, and the people matter,’ she said.
She concluded her brief but impassioned speech by shouting, ‘And f*** ICE, that’s all I’m gonna say. Sorry!’
Her comments had many in the crowd cheering her on, but people online quickly dug up an interesting fact about the singer’s home.
Political commentator Eric Daugherty, along with others, quickly uncovered that Eilish’s lavish mansion is located on land that belongs to the Tongva tribe – the indigenous people of the greater Los Angeles Basin.

‘She could also graciously host illegal aliens in her mansion. After all, she has the moral high ground. Put up or shut the F up,’ he said on X.
When contacted by the Daily Mail, a spokesperson for the Tongva tribe confirmed the singer’s home does in fact sit on its ‘ancestral land.’
‘We appreciate the opportunity to provide clarity regarding the recent comments made by Billie Eilish.
‘As the First People of the greater Los Angeles basin, we do understand that her home is situated in our ancestral land,’ they stated, adding that the A-lister has not reached out to the tribe herself.
‘Eilish has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property, we do value the instance when Public Figures provide visibility to the true history of this country,’ the spokesperson continued.
Additionally, the tribe said they have contacted Eilish’s team ‘to express our appreciation for her comments.’
‘It is our hope that in future discussions, the tribe can explicitly be referenced to ensure the public understands that the greater Los Angeles basin remains Gabrieleno Tongva territory,’ they added.

The tribe went on to share that they ‘partnered closely with the Recording Academy to author the official Land Acknowledgment statement shared during Grammy week and at the Premiere Ceremony.’
The spokesperson concluded: ‘The Recording Academy has been an incredible partner to our tribe, and we look forward to continuing the relationship to ensure the voices of the First People of this land are heard and honored. Ekwa Shem- We are here!’
Other users quickly agreed with Daugherty, as one wrote: ‘It’s time for all these hypocritical Hollywood elites to do what they’re telling average American citizens to do. If they can preach it, they need to live by their words!’
Another added: ‘They’re always contradicting themselves in Hollywood.’
‘Oh, the hypocrisy,’ someone else chimed in.
Eilish made her anti-ICE statement as stars like Joni Mitchell, Kehlani, and even Justin and Hailey Bieber wore ‘ICE OUT’ pins in protest of the Trump administration’s hardline immigration policies.
This is not the first time her home has been hit with drama, as the Birds of a Feather performer obtained a restraining order against a man who she said was stalking her and threatening her family and friends in 2023.
A man named Shawn Christopher McIntyre was ordered by a court to keep a distance of a minimum of 100 yards from Eilish, 21, her family and her friend Zoe Donahoe, TMZ reported, citing court docs.

The court ordered McIntyre to refrain from initiating contact with the Grammy Award-winning singer via social media.
The Daily Mail contacted Eilish’s team for comment.
Eilish’s words echoed a speech Kehlani gave before the broadcast began after the seven-time nominee scored her first-ever wins with back-to-back honors for best R&B performance and best R&B song.
After a standard list of thank yous, she turned her attention to the second Trump administration’s crusade against undocumented immigrants.
‘What I wanna make sure that I say is that everybody is so powerful in this room … And together, we’re stronger in numbers to speak against all the injustice going on in the world right now,’ she said, via Billboard. ‘So instead of letting it be just a couple of you here and there, I hope everybody’s inspired to join together as a community of artists and speak out against what’s going on.’
Before stepping away, she quickly added, ‘I’mma leave this and say, f*** ICE!’
