Most people wouldn't dare turn up at an A-lister's house, but YouTubers have created a whole following around being their audience's best friend. People feel personally close to their idols and so would have no qualms about showing up at their house. Just look at Zoe and Alfie.
Tbf, Tom massively slipped up by revealing Carrie as a neighbour, since his address is so easy to find (funnily enough, I doubt many people show up at his house) and she probably worsened it by 'favouriting' it, meaning even people who don't follow Tom might see it. Nevertheless, she really shouldn't have to deal with people coming to her address. That would be a horrible feeling, seeing faces through your window and when you walk out your door. She might end up having to do a full Zalfie and get a fence and CCTV.
Legally, maybe she can (try to) sue people for explicitly posting her address online. That or it's just a scare tactic. Either way, she has a right to demand no one reveal her specific address.
But no one has explicitly posted her address. No one has posted even part of it. Look at the number of people saying they couldn't find it.
As for her claims that people are planning to harass and stalk her using it, where's her evidence? No one is interested in turning up at her door, no one has threatened to. People were curious because she made a big deal about this wonderful house that's her dream forever home, then said she wouldn't be showing it. She herself, along with people close to her, provided the information that people used to find it. I'm not saying it is all her fault, i just think it's a lesson learned for her, and she's going to cause herself more problems by drawing attention to the fact it's findable online because i guarantee now more people who don't even read here will be searching.
