Malia Obama gained a lot of attention with her wild dance moves at Chicago's Lollapalooza music festival - but lost her phone in the process.

The 19-year-old was filmed thrashing around on the ground during The Killers' set at the festival on Friday night.

Unfortunately, that resulted in her misplacing her iPhone - requiring a visit to an Apple store accompanied by watchful Secret Service agents, Page Six reported.

Malia (sen in March with her iPhone) wasn't able to get help from the Apple Store later because she didn't have her Apple ID - because it had been set up by the White House

'Malia came into the Apple Store to get her iPhone replaced, but things didn't go exactly [as planned],' a source told the site.

'The Apple Store couldn't immediately help her because she didn't have the Apple ID or the password for the missing phone, since the White House set it up.'

Phone calls are likely occurring all over Washington as the Obamas try to obtain the correct details, Page Six speculated. 

Malia, whose classes at Harvard start up again in just a few short weeks, was seen in video obtained by TMZ dancing wildly with a gal pal on Friday as the Las Vegas rock band played its hits. 

In early footage Malia's friend throws herself to the ground while Obama's daughter jokingly pretends to play the drums, matching her moves with the music.

She then helps her friend up before they turn to watch the rest of the show, but the party was far from over.

Footage later captured Malia taking her turn to writhe and roll on the grass, thrashing around before headbanging and pounding the ground during a guitar riff. 

Malia and her friends reportedly spent most of their time backstage during The Killers set, before going to the grassy area to dance.

Social media users have been been quick to defend the teenager for letting loose and having fun with her friends. 

Twitter user @Blvck_Picvsso wrote: 'Malia Obama is doing what you supposed to do at an concert: HAVE FUN.'

Another said: 'This Malia Obama thing is being taken way out of context. She's dancing to The KILLERS! I would still be rolling on that floor...'

Some called for people to stop secretly filming the former first daughter in order to profit off of her. 

@JassyBravo tweeted: 'Malia Obama having a great time like normal people but the problem is she will always be recorded but who is her friends tho ?' 

Another user added: 'Malia Obama is living her best life. people need to stop recording & making money off her and let that girl live.'

This isn't the first time Malia's moves at Lollapalooza have landed her in the headlines. 

Last year a video popped up of Malia twerking with friends during a performance at the festival. 

The high school graduate was criticized for skipping Hillary Clinton's historic speech at the Democratic National Convention to attend the event in her hometown. 

Another video allegedly showed Obama's eldest puffing on a suspicious cigarette during the festival.  

The brief clip, published by Radar, shows the teenager mingling with crowds as she takes a drag.

An eyewitness insisted she was smoking marijuana, the tabloid site reported.
