Katy Perry Granted Restraining Order After Trespass

Katy Perry obtained a temporary restraining order against Ross Elliott Hedrick on June 23, after he allegedly trespassed on her Santa Barbara property multiple times in May. Hedrick was arrested following his first visit, during which he reportedly carried a butane lighter and an aerosol can, but returned a week later and allegedly threw a blanket over Perry's security fence. The restraining order, also protecting her ex-partner Orlando Bloom, is valid until July 14 pending a hearing for a permanent order. Perry's security team submitted Ring camera footage and expressed concerns that Hedrick may attempt further contact. The legal action comes amid unconfirmed reports of Perry and Bloom's separation after nine years together. Perry is currently on her Lifetimes Tour, which has attracted media attention for onstage incidents.
