Jennifer Aniston has been to the UK to launch her new perfume

Jennifer Aniston has told Newsbeat she feels " very secure" after she got a court order stopping a stalker.

Twenty-four-year-old Jason R. Peyton was arrested near her home in California.

He'd travelled across America thinking he was going to marry the star.

Peyton was found with what court papers say was a sharp object, along with duct tape and some love notes addressed to Jennifer Aniston.

Police said he'd spent days trying to find the star on Sunset Boulevard before he was taken in.

He told officers that even though they'd held him for psychiatric reasons it wouldn't stop him pursuing her.

Jennifer spoke briefly about the case while in London to launch a new perfume.

Asked about the risks that go with being a celebrity, the former Friends star said: "I think the positives are always going to outweigh the negatives.

"Everything we can do creatively and everything we're able to do because of our public awareness affords us a lot of freedom to give back."

As well as stalking Jennifer Aniston, Peyton apparently believes he's related to numerous celebrities including Courteney Cox, Jennifer Lopez, Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z and Donald Trump.

He's now been ordered to stay at least 100 yards (91m) away from Jennifer's home ahead of a court hearing next month.
