As one of Australia’s most popular television personalities, Sunrise host Samantha Armytage is no stranger to having her privacy invaded.
But on the weekend, that took on a frightening new turn when the 40-year-old journalist noticed a drone hovering above her Sydney home.
“Saturday night; Pervy, stalker, weirdo paps hovering ANOTHER drone in my backyard,” she wrote on Instagram.
“Calling police in now. ANY women’s magazines or online gossip sites who buy these creepy pictures, had better be prepared for a fight. Fed up with this rubbish.”
But this morning, an anonymous source told KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show the person responsible was not a photographer, but a young boy.

What is the legal situation with drones? I can imagine her worry and upset if you are a celebrity or have a stalker.
Minimum 30 metres (horizontally) from people or buildings/cars etc unless you have permission. You can see from the picture that it's not directly overhead.
A lot of people freak out over drones thinking they will be used to spy, but you can hear the things from a mile away. There's simply no way you can get close enough to recognise a person without them knowing about it.
There'll always be people who do the wrong thing, but most drone operators are simply out there for fun (or work)
