Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt has been granted a restraining order against an alleged 62-year-old stalker.

The Ghost Whisperer star filed a petition against David Nolte in December at Los Angeles Superior Court stating she feared for her physical safety after he turned up at her mother's house bearing letters and flowers.

According to court documents, Love Hewitt allegedly received letters from Nolte describing "delusional and violent fantasies about having sexual relations with Ms. Hewitt?marring her, impaling her and envisioning her fianc? with his head blown off."

Love Hewitt had also allegedly received plane tickets to Australia from Nolte, as well an itinerary for a trip he had planned for the two of them.

The restraining order, issued on Monday, orders Nolte to stay away from the star, her mother and former fiance Ross McCall for three years.
