The British woman jailed for stripping on a sacred Malaysian mountain has apologised for causing offence.
Backpacker and university graduate Eleanor Hawkins appeared tearful as she read a statement outside her family home in Draycott, Derbyshire.
She said: "I just want to say how relieved and happy I am to finally be home.
"I know my behaviour was foolish and I know how much offence we all caused to the local people of Sabah. For that, I am truly sorry."
It brings to an end an arduous 10 days for the aeronautical engineering graduate, who was fined 5,000 Malaysian ringgit (£859) and sentenced to three days in jail - which she had already served - at a court hearing in Kota Kinabalu on Friday.
The 23-year-old arrived back in the UK this morning.
Her mother Ruth said: "She knows what she did was wrong and disrespectful and she is deeply sorry for any offence caused to the people of Sabah and she has been appropriately and fairly judged by the Malaysian authorities and has served her sentence in full, the case is now closed.
"We would all now like Eleanor to be given the chance to recover, so we would really appreciate it if you would now afford us some privacy and allow her to get on with her life.
"We would like to thank again the British consulate officials who have support Ellie in Malaysia during this very difficult time."
