The Native American tribe whose ancestral territory includes Billie Eilish’s multimillion-dollar Los Angeles home responded this week after the pop star used the Grammy Awards stage to promote left-wing immigration slogans during an anti-ICE rant.
During her remarks, Eilish declared that “no one is illegal on stolen land.”
However, the Tongva tribe has responded by asserting that Eilish’s mansion sits on land which they consider to be “stolen” from them.
A spokesperson for the Tongva tribe told The Daily Mail that Eilish’s $3 million Hollywood Hills mansion is located on land historically tied to the tribe.
The Tongva tribe says ancestral lands encompass much of the greater Los Angeles basin.
Eilish’s comments have led to calls for her to either donate the land to the tribe or allow illegal aliens to be housed on the property.
However, the Tongva tribe noted that the singer has not contacted them regarding her property.
“As the First People of the greater Los Angeles basin, we do understand that her home is situated in our ancestral land,” the spokesperson said.
“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 added.
“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.”
Eilish, 24, sparked backlash Sunday night after using her Grammy acceptance speech to inject progressive talking points into the broadcast.
“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 from the stage as celebrities applauded.
“’F*ck ICE’ is what I wanna say,” she added.

The remarks quickly drew criticism online, with commentators accusing the singer of hypocrisy for condemning borders and land ownership while living in a gated, high-value mansion.
“You cannot simultaneously believe that (1) all borders are fake and should not be policed, and (2) that land can be ‘stolen,’” one user wrote on X.
“This is one of the most braindead beliefs a person can hold.”
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis also weighed in, writing:
“Oh, gee, this ‘stolen land’ nonsense again?
“Maybe she should step up and forfeit her Southern California mansion since it is supposedly on ‘stolen land.’”
The Grammys controversy is the latest in a series of political remarks from Eilish that have drawn public ridicule.
In November, the singer launched a profanity-laden attack on billionaire Elon Musk over his wealth.
“Elon Musk a ‘fcking pathetic pssy b*tch coward,’” Eilish said at the time, criticizing him for not donating more money to causes she supports.
“If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?
“No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties,” she added.
As criticism mounts, the Tongva tribe’s response has added an unexpected wrinkle to the debate.
It highlights the tension between out-of-touch celebrity activism and personal conduct, raising questions about whether public virtue signaling extends beyond awards-show rhetoric.
