Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt has become the latest celebrity targeted by burglars after his Los Angeles mansion was broken into and ransacked while he was away in the UK promoting his upcoming Formula 1 movie.
The incident occurred at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Authorities reported that three suspects scaled the fence of Pitt’s property located in Los Feliz, LA, and gained entry by smashing the front windows.
The burglars made away with an undisclosed number of the actor’s personal belongings, leaving the property in disarray. Thankfully, Pitt was not at home during the break-in, as he is currently in the United Kingdom attending promotional events for his latest film.
NBC reports that an urgent investigation has been launched by the LAPD, who are now reviewing surveillance footage and following up on leads to track down the intruders.
The robbery comes amid a rising wave of celebrity home invasions in Los Angeles. Earlier this year, stars like Nicole Kidman and Jessie J were also victimized. Kidman’s home was similarly ransacked, while Jessie J reported the loss of over $20,000 in jewelry during a burglary.
Law enforcement officials have issued warnings to high-profile individuals to strengthen their security as thieves increasingly target celebrity homes in LA’s affluent neighborhoods.
As investigations continue, fans have expressed sympathy and concern for Pitt’s safety and privacy. No suspects have been arrested as of the time of this report, and police urge anyone with relevant information to come forward.
The actor, known for his roles in Fight Club and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, has not yet released a public statement regarding the incident.
