Miranda Cosgrove has opened up on the chilling moment she learned a man had died right outside of her home.
The iCarly star spoke of the time her stalker killed himself in her front yard.
In late 2016, a man was found dead outside her home in Hollywood Hills - an area crawling with celebrities and stars.

TMZ reported at the time that when police arrived at the scene for 'shots fired', a man was found 'engulfed in flames'.
The Los Angeles Fire Department put the fire out while the police were able to recover a gun next to the body.
Luckily Cosgrove was not at home that night, but the man had been there for her.
The now 30-year-old opened up on Whitney Cummings' Good for You podcast as she retold the story.

After going on a date, Cosgrove decided to spend the night at her parents' house when she received a call at three in the morning that a 'man had died' at her house.
"It was the weirdest thing ever because they had caution tape up and and you know, it was right in my front yard," she said.
"I guess a guy came and he was like burying things in my backyard for three days and he buries a lunchbox with a milk chocolate inside of it, in my backyard.
"And then he buries like knives and a rope, and a bunch of random stuff.

"I guess he’d been in my backyard, hanging out there and burying things – why I didn’t notice I don’t know. I’m just apparently not very observant."
Cosgrove learned after the incident that all 'that stuff' was buried there and he had been pacing around her backyard with a gun in his hands.
She continued: "He was just pacing in my backyard. I have security cameras so later when we looked we figured out he was back there for like six hours or something waiting."
The star, who was the highest paid child actor in 2012, explained someone else had drove up in a similar car to hers, which 'confused' the man.

She said: "He shot at this person six times and he missed because she was in a car, she drove away.
"Then he set himself on fire and he shot himself simultaneously."
Cosgrove has also previously opened up about the incident on Brett Goldstein's podcast Films To Be Buried With, where she said she only avoided being killed by the man because she'd chosen to go tell her mum in person about her date that night.
