Concerns escalated when Kobayashi, who was on a journey from Hawaii to New York, missed her connecting flight from Los Angeles on November 8.

The photographer from Hawaii was safely located a month after she went missing but she released a statement on Monday.

Kobayashi revealed that she crossed back into the US after her unexplained trip to Mexico.

“At daybreak on December 15th, I crossed the border back into the United States,” she said.

“My focus now is on my healing, my peace and my creativity.”

Kobayashi thanked her family but revealed she was unaware of her father’s suicide.

Her missing persons case took a tragic turn when her dad, Ryan Kobayashi, died by suicide in a Los Angeles parking garage on November 24.

He had spent weeks searching for his daughter and died of a broken heart, the family announced.

“I am deeply grateful to my family and everyone who has shown me kindness and compassion during this time,” she added.

“I was unaware of everything that was happening in the media while I was away, and I am still processing it all.

“I kindly ask for respect for myself, my family, and my loved ones as I navigate through this challenging time. Thank you for your understanding.”

A huge manhunt was sparked on November 11 when she was reported missing by her family, three days after she failed to catch her second flight.

Kobayashi was seen across Los Angeles in the days following her disappearance, including a sighting at Pico Station with an unidentified male.
