DHS shoots down Australian influencer’s wild claim that Billie Eilish got him deported

The party’s over.

Homeland security officials on Tuesday shot down a gadfly Australian influencer’s claim that firebrand pop superstar Billie Eilish got him deported from the US.

Drew Pavlou’s self-admitted “s–t posts” campaigning to move into Eilish’s $3 million mansion after her anti-ICE “no one is illegal on stolen land” rant had nothing to do with his recent deportation ordeal at LAX, a Customs and Border Protection spokesperson told The Post.

“Claims that this individual’s admissibility was tied to external reports regarding Billie Eilish are false,” the spokesperson said.

The hard-and-soft denial is the latest bizarre twist after Eilish’s remarks at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Feb.1.

While accepting the Song of the Year award for “Wildflower,” Eilish used the Crypto.com Arena’s stage to lambast ICE amid fiery outrage over the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Peretti in Minneapolis.

“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,” the 24-year-old singer chirped.

“’F–k ICE’ is what I wanna say,” she concluded.

The lefty “Birds of a Feather” singer’s remarks provoked a conservative backlash for over her perceived hypocrisy and virtue signaling.

Some, such as Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), cheekily demanded Eilish put her money — or her mansion — where her mouth was.

“Any white person who does a public ‘stolen land’ acknowledgement should immediately give his or her land to native Americans,” Lee posted on X.

The Tongva tribe — the indigenous inhabitants of the Los Angeles Basin — confirmed Eilish’s multi-million dollar mansion sits on their ancestral land and expressed appreciation for her pointing out uncomfortable truths.

But they also dinged Eilish for not mentioning their plight.

“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,” a Tongva spokesperson said.

“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,” the spokesperson added.

Pavlou, 24, inserted himself into the drama by starting a crowdfunding campaign to fly to the US and move into her home.

But his stunt was thwarted when he arrived at LAX, according to his X posts.

“Billie Eilish got me deported from the US — I think her legal team contacted DHS,” he posted on X. “I spent 30 hours at LAX immigration trying to explain that my s–t posts were just a joke and that I didn’t actually plan to personally move into her mansion.”
