Amidst all this, a push notification was sent out on the Citizen app which disclosed the exact location ofEilish's family home to at least 178,000 people on the platform.

However, by Friday morning, the Citizen appchanged the address of the incident to a note that read "the cross streets".

The popular crime reporting app, which was originally called Vigilante, encourages users to upload videos and pictures of alleged crimes and police activity happening around them.

Sandra Bullock, Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, and Simon Cowell have also been victims of home burglariesin recent years.

This is the second doxxing incident that involves Eilish. Back in 2019, the singer was forced to hire a security guard after her address leaked online and led to a group of fans showing up at her home.

"It was really traumatizing," Eilish told Rolling Stone at the time, adding, "I completely don't feel safe in my house anymore, which sucks. I love my house".

Eilish and herproducer brother Finneas grew up in the LA home. Their parents still own the two-bedroom property. Despite having a net worth of $35 million, the American singer still lives at home with her parents. "My relationship with my home has not changed, just like with my parents and my brother," the 'Bad Guy' singer told V Magazine in March 2022.
