In a statement shared with NBC Los Angeles via her aunt, she revealed that she returned to the U.S. from Mexico on Sunday and was unaware of the media attention surrounding her disappearance. &#8220;I crossed back into the United States at dawn on December 15th,&#8221; Kobayashi stated. &#8220;My priority now is my healing, peace, and creativity.&#8221; She added that she was oblivious to what had transpired in the media during her absence and requested respect for herself and her loved ones as she navigates this difficult period. Additionally, Kobayashi expressed gratitude towards those who showed her kindness during this time.<\/p>\n<p>Kobayashi had traveled from Hawaii to Los Angeles International Airport and was reported missing on November 11 after not boarding a connecting flight to New York three days later. The Los Angeles Police Department categorized her case as voluntary after surveillance footage showed her entering Mexico willingly. The situation became more tragic when Ryan Kobayashi, Hannah&#8217;s father, took his own life near the airport while searching for his daughter two weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>The family stated that Ryan searched tirelessly for 13 days before his death, which greatly intensified their grief. During Hannah&#8217;s absence, friends received messages from her phone that seemed unusual for her typical communication style; they noted a lack of emojis which were usually present in their conversations with her.<\/p>\n<p>Ariana Ursua mentioned doubts about whether those texts were genuinely from Hannah due to their different tone compared to usual messages filled with symbols like hearts or butterflies.
