Miley Cyrus' alleged stalker ARRESTED after showing up at her LA home to gift singer a stuffed animal... five months after star was granted court-ordered protection

Miley Cyrus' alleged stalker, 52-year-old Alexander Karddalian, was arrested after arriving to the singer's L.A. home Friday morning to gift the performer a stuffed animal, according to TMZ.

The Flowers hitmaker, 31, notably was granted a court-ordered protection against the same individual last year in September 2023 - just days after he had been released from prison.

Law enforcement informed the outlet that Karddalian was arrested near her abode after a call was made by Cyrus and her team around 1am.

The former Disney channel star - who was home at the time - and her team made a call to report on a suspicious person after Miley believed that it was someone she had dealt with in the past. 

Sources informed TMZ that Alexander allegedly showed up to her front gate with a stuffed animal.

However, security was able to detain him while LAPD was called to the scene. 

Cops then took him away and he was later booked for not complying with a court order. 

This was not the first time that Miley has encountered Karddalian. Last year in September 2023, the songstress had been granted a court-ordered protection from the alleged stalker. 

At the time, TMZ reported that in Cyrus' legal filing, she claimed the 52-year-old had arrived at her house just a few days after he was released from prison. 

The performer also alleged that Karddalian had also been sending unwanted letters, in which he has detailed his obsessions with her that went back to 2018.

In the filing, Cyrus claimed that the individual had made numerous requests for money. He reportedly made sexually-charged comments about her.

The singer also wrote that Karddalian's 'obsessive behavior' became all the more concerning in the summer of 2022, when he allegedly arrived uninvited at her Los Angeles residence on two separate occasions.

The individual in question was said to have been escorted off her property both times.

The performer also claimed that Karddalian was arrested in December 2022 and was imprisoned in San Quentin State Prison until August of last year, when he was released.

Cyrus wrote that the individual allegedly returned to her property just a few days after he was released from custody.

She also claimed that Karddalian sent her a letter, in which he wrote that he would visit her residence promptly after being freed from prison.

Although the individual was said to have visited her property, he was prevented from seeing the singer by her security team, who notified police about his presence.

The performer claimed that her alleged stalker was threatened with arrest should he return to her residence in the future, although he ultimately did so.

Cyrus has also wrote that Karddalian has been utilizing her home address for health insurance-related purposes.

She alleged that the individual has written her a letter in which he stated that he 'doesn't give a f*** if he lives' if she did not respond to his attempt at communication.

The performer stated that her alleged stalker was dealing with 'severe mental health challenges' in her filing, in which she also claimed that he also harbored what she described as 'dangerous fixation and/or obsession' with her life.

The singer has also claimed that, as a result of the individual's behavior, she is concerned for her own safety, as well as the well-being of her mother, Tish, and boyfriend Maxx Morando.

The recent incident comes shortly after Miley's hit track, Flowers, broke the record for sitting at the number one spot on the Adult Contemporary Chart for the 37th week, per Billboard. 

The song surpassed Maroon 5's Girls Like You, which had sat on the same chart for 36 weeks after its release back in 2017. 

Flowers was a major success, and topped other music charts, such as spending a total of eight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. 

The song also received three nominations for the upcoming 66th Grammy Awards - including Best Pop Solo Performance, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. 

Flowers dropped one year earlier on January 12, 2023 and appeared on her eighth studio album titled, Endless Summer Vacation, which also received two nods: Album of the Year and also Best Pop Vocal Album.  

Lastly, Miley was also nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her collaboration with Brandi Carlile on Thousand Miles.

Late last year in November, she celebrated receiving six Grammy nominations and took to social media to express her excitement and gushed about women dominating the music industry. 

The star also included what appeared to be a polaroid snap of herself sporting a sleeveless, black ensemble as well as a stylish, black hat that was placed on top of her head.

In the caption, she penned, 'Congratulations to all of this years Grammy nominees. Watching women rule the music industry makes me proud.'

'It's fun to be nominated & exciting to win but having my music LOVED around the world is the real trophy.'

Cyrus also sent love and gratitude towards her fans, adding, 'To my Smilers - I celebrate YOU today. Your joy is my bliss.'

'My team + all of my collaborators are irreplaceable & priceless pieces of this puzzle,' she sweetly wrote, concluding with, 'I love you all. Thank you for making my Endless Summer Vacation so sweet.'

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards will be held later next month on February 4 in Los Angeles and will be hosted by comedian, Trevor Noah.
