Britain's Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle has been greeted by a crowd of cheering fans and a media scrum on her arrival in Los Angeles.

The "hairy angel" was mobbed by the press and public as she was ushered from the arrivals hall at LAX airport to a waiting SUV.

And the 48-year-old Scottish singer, who was the shock runner-up in this year's BGT, basked in the attention - smiling, blowing kisses and waving to the cameras.

She had become just as famous in the US as in the UK after a clip of her performance on BGT became a worldwide viral internet hit.

After being whisked away from the airport, she found time for a little pleasure - and managed to fit in a fun trip to Disneyland.

She is scheduled to perform during the final of America's Got Talent this week.
