Ling and Euna Lee were sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for entering the North Korea illegally but were granted a pardon following talks between former President Bill Clinton and North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.
They flew into a Burbank airport early Wednesday and were greeted with hugs and tears by their families.
Ling's sister says she kept faith that Ling would be freed.
