Narrative:
I was on a IFR flight plan flying to hhr; an airport I am not familiar with trying to land under a visual approach had the airport in sight when ATC flew me over it then they flew me out about 6 miles to line up for the approach and I lost sight of the runway I did not report that to ATC hoping I would pick up the runway again then ATC starts saying low altitude alert pull up which I did and they redirected me out for another approach this time using the localizer D approach. Once I got that set up I followed it in then on the ground they told me to call them which I did.
