png has white background in illustrator

Question

i've never had this issue before so i'm super confused, it was working fine up until last night? i create a png by removing the background of my image and i'll usually export it as a png w transparency ticked and open in illustrator or just drag straight from photoshop into illustrator and go as usual but now i'm getting this? it's got a white background? this is how it looks in photoshop after i've removed the background:

and this is what i get when i drag, copy & paste or place into illustrator:

Aria,

Just to make sure: are you sure the whiteness is in the PNG and not just the nothingness behind it?

In other words, what happens if you click View>Show Grid/Transparency Grid or place a coloured rectangle behind the whole thing?
