Famed Kiwi influencer and mental health advocate Jazz Thornton is calling for a law change to make stalking illegal.

She's recently revealed she'd been receiving 'unsettling' messages from an obsessive fan, who eventually flew all the way from the Netherlands to her home address.

Thornton says the perpetrator was eventually arrested, but it took escalation before the authorities could intervene.

"They were very concerned - but expressing there wasn't a lot legally they could do. So they had patrols outside our house, we stayed in a hotel that night, and then later, the next morning, was when he escalated."
