Obsessed Kylie Jenner fan put under psychiatric hold for the second time

Los Angeles - An obsessed Kylie Jenner fan has been put under a psychiatric hold.

The unnamed man was apprehended last week after trying to get into the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star's property and placed under a 72-hour hold, and has now been put under a second 72-hour hold after he escaped from a psychiatric ward and was recaptured by LA County Sheriff's deputies.

According to TMZ, the man has turned up to Kylie's home at least 10 times and thinks he is "soulmates" with the 18-year-old reality star.

Police told the website the intruder will be "watched more closely".

Kylie - who is dating rapper Tyga - recently admitted she wished she could lead a "normal" life.

She said: "I dream about being normal. I never wish to have somebody else's life - I was meant to have this life for a reason, and I'm going to make the best out of it. But I have normal friends. I sit at my house, and they practically live with me, and I watch them get ready to go to a high school party, hang out with their friends, go to concerts.

"I think people expect a lot out of us. Whether we're influential for one reason or another, it is what it is. I know how influential I am over my fans and followers.

"I feel like everything I do, my hair colour, my make-up, I always start these huge trends, and I don't even realise what I'm capable of."
