Australian activist Drew Pavlou launched a fundraising campaign to travel to America and set up a tent on Billie Eilish’s Malibu property after her controversial Grammy Awards speech about immigration and land ownership.
Grammy Speech Sparks Fundraising Campaign
Pavlou created a GiveSendGo fundraiser seeking $2,783 to cover travel and filming costs for his planned visit to Eilish’s six-million-dollar beachside mansion. The 27-year-old Brisbane-based activist initially used GoFundMe but moved to the alternative platform after his original campaign was removed. Pavlou announced his intentions on social media, stating he would fly to America and attempt to move into the singer’s driveway area.
I am flying to the USA next Friday to attempt to move into Billie Eilish’s beachside Malibu mansion.
No human being is illegal on stolen land.

The activist claims his actions are completely legal and plans to leave when formally asked to do so. His fundraising page directly references Eilish’s Grammy statement, using her own words to justify his planned demonstration at her private residence.
Eilish’s Controversial Grammy Remarks
During the 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony, Eilish won Song of the Year for “Wildflower” from her album “Hit Me Hard and Soft.” In her acceptance speech, she delivered remarks about immigration enforcement and historical land ownership. The singer concluded her speech by expressing opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, using profanity to emphasize her position. Her comments referenced the historical displacement of Native Americans by European settlers in early American history.
