Katy Perry has been granted a restraining order against a homeless man who's repeatedly showed up at her Santa Barbara home.
The Firework songstress, 40 — who recently split from Orlando Bloom, 48 — filed a temporary restraining order against a man named Ross Elliott Hendrick on June 18.
And on Monday, a judge granted Katy's permanent restraining order according to TMZ.
In her filing, Katy claimed that the homeless man has visited her property various times throughout the month of May and continues to return.
In her request Katy also sought protection for Orlando — with whom she recently had an awkward lunch — calling him her 'partner' who lives with her.
The first time he attempted to trespass at her Santa Barbara abode, he was arrested - and her security team stated that Hendrick had a butane lighter and an aerosol can with him.
The second time he returned to the pop star's home, the man threw a blanket over the security gate.
Katy's security has backed up her worries and agree that Hendrick could pose a potential threat.
She has requested that the homeless man not only stay 100 yards away from her, but also her properties, job, car and now-ex Orlando.
The legal documents were filed on June 18 - shortly before it was reported that Perry and Bloom had separated after nine years together and welcoming daughter Daisy, four.
The actor recently shared a cryptic post to his Instagram stories in the wake of his split from Katy.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star - who partied with A-listers at the Venice wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez last month - shared a quote from Gautama Buddha to his 7 million followers.
The quote that Bloom reposted read: 'Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most.'
He additionally shared a separate slide which had another quote which was titled 'Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda.'

It continued, 'The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.'
Last month it was revealed that Orlando and Katy officially called it quits after dating for nine years.
At the time, a source told Us Weekly: 'Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,' while also adding that the separation has been 'not contentious' thus far.
'Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.'
The Teenage Dream hitmaker - who is currently embarking on her Lifetimes Tour - was previously married to Russell Brand from 2010 until their divorce in 2012.
The insider further added that the reported breakup had been 'a long time coming' and that their relationship had also been 'tense for months.'
In the wake of the separation, Bloom whisked himself away to Venice to attend the star-studded nuptials between Bezos and Sanchez.
The actor was spotted mingling with a number of celebrities, including Kim Kardashian and Sydney Sweeney.
PR and brand expert Chad Teixeira talked to MailOnline about the split, labeling it as 'incredibly well-timed' for Orlando.
'The breakup has created a brand window for Orlando, and one that he's stepping into with just the right amount of presence.
Teixeira added, 'He's not chasing the spotlight, but he's not hiding either. That's a savvy move in today's fame economy and it'll stand him in better stead when Katy's fame is disappearing more than ever.
'From a brand and public image standpoint, Orlando Bloom's recent split from Katy Perry appears to be incredibly well-timed, whether intentionally or coincidentally.
'In the wake of a high-profile relationship that often placed him in the shadow of Perry's headline-making career, Orlando now has the opportunity to reestablish his own narrative, independent of her increasingly complex public perception.'
Chad then expressed that Perry has 'struggled to gain traction' in the spotlight and has received 'lukewarm reception' when it comes to her recent projects - such as her 143 album which dropped last year.
Teixeira later explained that Bloom 'is not trying to dominate headlines, but he's appearing at exactly the right places, looking relaxed, charismatic, and unburdened.
'The media is responding positively, capturing him enjoying life, socializing, even partying, which feeds into a well-worn but effective Hollywood archetype.'
Chad added, 'He's now coming across as the effortlessly cool, slightly mysterious leading man who doesn't need to try too hard.
Perry and Orlando sparked up a romance in early 2016 - and he later popped the big question in 2019. They welcomed their daughter Daisy in 2020; seen in March in Beverly Hills
'In PR terms, this is a textbook soft rebrand, it's low on drama, high on visibility, and perfectly timed to capitalize on a shift in public sentiment...'
