HONOLULU (KHNL/Gray News) - More than a month after Hannah Kobayashi left Hawaii, prompting an intense search in a case that has captured national headlines, the 30-year-old has been found safe.

Her family made the announcement Wednesday.

An attorney released the following statement on behalf of the Kobayashi family:

"We are incredibly relieved and grateful that Hannah has been found safe," the family said, in the statement. "This past month has been an unimaginable ordeal for our family, and we kindly ask for privacy as we take the time to heal and process everything we have been through."

Her family did not provide further details on where or when she was found, but the attorney did confirm that Kobayashi contacted the family.

On Nov. 8, Kobayashi caught a flight from Maui to Los Angeles with plans to go to New York City to visit her aunt, but she failed to get on the connecting flight. Authorities later determined she intentionally missed the flight.

For the next several days, bizarre text messages and unusual financial transactions raised concerns among family members, triggering a massive search that included sudden, tragic twists.

The Los Angeles Police Department had classified her disappearance as a voluntary missing person case after obtaining surveillance video of Kobayashi crossing the U.S.-Mexico border on Nov. 12.
