Marking his first time in Hollywood, Owen flew out to the glamorous city after Liverpool FC's victory party on Sunday.
The actor, who had no professional experience prior to his role as Jamie in the hit Netflix series, is a favourite to win a record-breaking Emmy Award for his performance.
The cast are in LA to officially launch their bids to win Emmys for the series and if Owen wins he would be the youngest-ever winner at just 15-years-old.
The four-part series received critical acclaim when it hit the streaming service in March, and centres on a 13-year-old boy accused of murdering a schoolgirl.
In the show, viewers saw how teen Jamie Miller's perception of girls had been radicalised through content he was viewing online, and also showed the vast amount of social media consumed by teenagers at school.
Back in March MailOnline revealed that Owen would be entered in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role as murder suspect Jamie Miller in the show that has become one of Netflix's most-watched series ever.
Experts hailed the 'genius move' of placing Owen in Supporting, as opposed to Best Actor, which they said would massively boost his chances of winning.
The Warrington schoolboy would be the youngest-ever male winner in the 76-year history of the 'TV Oscars' and the award would be for the first scenes he ever filmed in his first acting job.

Speaking to Gold Derby, Owen said he hoped he would keep his feet on the ground if awards recognition came his way.
'If that was to be the case, it's definitely a massive achievement and it's the next step in my life,' he said. 'I'll just take it and move on.
'It's one of them things that will forever be there and I'll never forget it for the rest of my life.'
And he deflected the praise back to the team who surrounded him on the show.
'It's all rooted from Stephen [Graham], Hannah [Walters, the producer], Phil [Barantini, the director], Jo Johnson the producer, it's all from them. I couldn't have done it without them,' he said.
Stephen, who was also on the video interview, beamed as Cooper spoke.
He said: 'The thing I'm proudest of [from making the show] is the fact we've created this opportunity for that wonderful young man to have a proper career within this industry. That makes me so proud.'
He said Owen had 'pure talent', and added: 'Talent is one thing but you have to harness it and turn it into action and that's exactly what he did.
'His talent is, and I've said this before, personally I think it's a generational talent that he has. Also, and this can't be overlooked, he's a very intelligent young man. Bright as a button. Sharp, listens beautifully. He wants to be better. He wants to learn, he's like a sponge.
'And he comes with this wonderful energy, this willingness to learn about the craft. Because he's not affected in any way, he'll just be completely natural and in the flow.'
Stephen added: 'His ability is second-to-none, because he's a million miles away from Jamie. Owen himself, the top lad, is a million miles away from Jamie. He completely transforms.'
The Emmy nominations will be announced in July with the ceremony taking place in LA in September.
