Stars don't travel to earth. But the light and other radiation that they emit spreads out
in every direction from the star, and some of it eventually hits the earth.
Starting out from the star, it takes the light 1 year to reach the earth for every 5,878,700,000,000 miles
it has to cover to get here.

How long to closest star?
The nearest star is the Sun; it takes light 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth from the Sun. The closest star outside our Sun is Proxima Centauri; it takes light 4.2 years to reach us. At speeds slower than the speed of light, it will obviously take longer.
How long has light from other stars been traveling toward earth?
Well it depends on what you mean. The distance for how long it takes, or the time as in how long since Earth was made. Earth as you know has been here a long long time.
