A man with a pickaxe has vandalised United States President Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame before surrendering to police.

The star was nearly completely destroyed, and there was graffiti scrawled on it. Installed in 2007, Trump's star has been frequently vandalised since he was elected president in 2016.

The suspect, 24-year-old Austin Clay, was in custody at the Los Angeles County Jail on a charge of felony vandalism with a bail of $US20,000.

In 2016, street artist Plastic Jesus placed a tiny wall on the border of Mr Trump's star in a comment about the President's border wall and migration policies.
