Billie Eilish appeared burdened as she was seen in public for the first time following her controversial criticism of ICE at the Grammys.

After winning Song of the Year on Sunday, the 24-year-old artist stirred up a storm by declaring, “Nobody is illegal on stolen land… F*** ICE,” igniting a heated debate online.

Social media users quickly pointed out that her $3 million home in Los Angeles sits on land originally belonging to the Tongva tribe, the Indigenous people native to the greater LA region.

As this information spread, many have urged Eilish to either return the property to the tribe or use the expansive residence to aid the migrants she has vocally supported.

On Wednesday, the singer was seen walking her dog, dressed in her distinctive, eclectic fashion, yet her strained demeanor was noticeable.

Her guarded expression suggested that the controversy continues to weigh heavily on her mind.

The drama erupted when Eilish took the stage to accept her Song of the Year win for Wildflower, joining a long list of stars at the Grammys protesting U.S. immigration enforcement.

From Justin and Hailey Bieber to Kehlani and Joni Mitchell, celebrities flashed tiny ‘ICE OUT’ pins on the red carpet to show their opposition.

Bad Bunny seized his moment while accepting Best Música Urbana Album, telling the crowd: ‘Before I say, “Thank God,” I’m going to say, “ICE out.” We’re not savage. We’re not animals. We’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.’

But Eilish, accepting the award alongside her brother Finneas, was the most incendiary.

‘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,’ she declared, referencing the colonization of the Americas.

‘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 added.

She wrapped her brief but fiery speech by shouting: ‘And f*** ICE, that’s all I’m gonna say. Sorry!’ 

After the speech, fans quickly took to social media to highlight that her $3 million Los Angelesmansion sits on land belonging to the Tongva tribe, the Indigenous people of the greater LA Basin

Political commentator Eric Daugherty, along with others, quickly uncovered that Eilish’s lavish mansion is located on land that belongs to the Tongva tribe.

‘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.

When Billie Eilish accepted the Grammy for Song of the Year over the weekend, she took the opportunity on the global stage to slam Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown – declaring: ‘Nobody is illegal on stolen land… F*** ICE’

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 A-lister has not reached out to the tribe herself, the spokesperson said

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.’

Her older brother Finneas – who had also been on stage when she accepted the Grammy award – came to his sister’s defense on Wednesday as he called out ‘powerful old white men’; seen on Sunday at the 2026 Grammy Awards in L.A.

Before stepping away, she quickly added, ‘I’mma leave this and say, f*** ICE!’

Her older brother Finneas – who had also been on stage when she accepted the Grammy award – came to his sister’s defense on Wednesday as he called out ‘powerful old white men.’ 

While taking to Instagram Threads, the music artist wrote, ‘Seeing a lot of very powerful old white men outraged about what my 24-year-old sister said during her acceptance speech.’ 

Finneas then added, ‘We can literally see your names in the Epstein files.’
