LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hannah Kobayashi has been found safe, the Los Angeles Police Department said Wednesday.
Kobayashi vanished last month in Los Angeles, and her disappearance prompted a massive search and a missing persons investigation. It was not immediately clear where she was found, but police previously said she had voluntarily crossed the border into Mexico.
“We are happy to learn that Hannah has been found safe,” the LAPD said in a statement. “Now that we have this new information, this has become a private matter and we will wrap up our investigation.”
Kobayashi’s mother and sister, in a statement through their lawyer, were the first to announce Wednesday that she had been found safe.
“We are incredibly relieved and grateful that Hannah has been found safe,” Brandi Yee and Sydni Kobayashi wrote. “This past month has been an unimaginable ordeal for our family, and we kindly ask for privacy as we take the time to heal and process everything we have been through. We want to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported us during this difficult time. Your kindness and concern have meant the world to us.”
