In a troubling incident, actor Brad Pitt's Los Angeles residence was broken into late Wednesday night by three individuals who reportedly ransacked the property. The Los Angeles Police Department stated that the suspects entered the home in the Los Feliz neighborhood through a front window and caused disarray before fleeing with stolen items. Although police did not explicitly identify the home as Pitt's property, it corresponds with the address of the house he purchased earlier this year.
At the time of the burglary, Pitt was in the United Kingdom attending the London premiere of his upcoming film "F1," which is set for release this Friday. He was accompanied by high-profile personalities, including actor Tom Cruise and Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton. The break-in occurred around 10:30 PM local time, and officials have not disclosed the value of the stolen items.
The home, which is a spacious three-bedroom property located near Griffith Park — famously home to the Hollywood Sign — is secured by a large fence and lush greenery, providing a degree of privacy from onlookers. This incident is part of a worrying trend in Los Angeles, where numerous burglaries targeting celebrities are on the rise. Recently, high-profile figures such as Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban have reported similar break-ins.
Moreover, there have been alarming reports of stalking incidents, including a man who was arrested for vandalism after crashing his vehicle into the gate of Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston's home. As the city grapples with an uptick in celebrity-targeted crimes, this latest burglary serves as a stark reminder of the potential risks faced by public figures.
