Hannah Kobayashi, who sparked national attention after her disappearance from LAX, has returned to the US.
Kobayashi, 31, crossed the Mexico border into California over the weekend, where she was questioned by US officials who asked if she was OK, a source told TMZ.
She appeared to be healthy as she met with her lawyer at the border before leaving with him.
The Hawaii woman made contact with relatives on Wednesday to tell them that she was fine after disappearing from Los Angeles International Airport in November.
While she was missing, her father, Ryan Kobayashi, took his own life by reportedly jumping from a building structure near LAX after traveling to California to help authorities look for her.
He was tragically found dead at the bottom of a parking structure around 4am on November 24 – a little over two weeks after his daughter was reported missing.

The Hawaii woman,31, made contact with relatives on Wednesday to tell them that she was fine after disappearing from Los Angeles International Airport in November
She was on her way to New York from her home on the Hawaiian island of Maui, when she decided to walk out of Los Angeles International Airport and disappear.
She wasn’t on that flight by herself. She was on her way to the Big Apple alongside her new Green Card husband Argentina-native Alan Cacace, in a bid to hoodwink immigration officials into believing their marriage was genuine, DailyMail.com previously revealed.
And, on that same flight, her ex-boyfriend Amun Miranda joined them with his own Green Card wife Marianne – who just happened to be Cacace’s girlfriend.
This messy love square, all on one plane together, was only possible because Cacace had allegedly given Kobayashi $15,000 with the promise of a similar sum once the immigration documents that allowed him to stay in the United States were issued.
The ruse of their sham marriage was already in the works after they tied the knot in October. Pictures of the ceremony were shown to Kobayashi’s colleagues at Up ‘N Smoke, the Maui smoke shop where she worked.
This is a breaking news story.
