LOS ANGELES — Brad Pitt’s Los Feliz residence was burglarized late Wednesday night while the actor was abroad promoting his upcoming film, F1: The Movie.
Incident Overview
Law enforcement officials report that three individuals climbed over the property fence and entered through a broken front window around 10:30 p.m. They proceeded to ransack rooms and fled with unspecified items. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed the break-in and said officers are reviewing surveillance footage to track down the suspects.
Owner Status
Pitt was not at home at the time; he is currently attending promotion events overseas. Authorities have not deemed the incident a targeted celebrity theft, noting that high-value homes in the area run a general risk of burglary.
Investigation and Background
- Police are treating the case as an active investigation, with no arrests reported yet.
- The Los Feliz home was purchased by Pitt in April 2023 for $5.5 million.
- The burglary follows a series of recent home intrusions in Los Angeles, including those affecting Nicole Kidman and Tom Hanks earlier this year.
Broader Trends
Security experts say celebrity properties, especially in affluent neighbourhoods, remain attractive targets when owners are absent for public engagements. Authorities urge residents to enhance surveillance systems and remain alert even in exclusive areas.
