Police in Los Angeles are investigating a break-in at a property reportedly owned by Brad Pitt, after three suspects allegedly “ransacked” the home while the actor was out of the country promoting his film, F1.
The burglary is the latest in a series of high-profile incidents targeting celebrity homes in the city.
Officers were called to the house on the 2300 block of North Edgemont Street, in Los Feliz, on Wednesday night, responding to an alarm.
According to LAPD spokesperson Officer Drake Madison, the suspects gained access by shattering a front window, searched through the property, and fled the scene with an undisclosed number of stolen items.
No arrests have been made, and police have not confirmed who owns the home or what was taken.
NBC News was first to report that the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating a burglary at a home linked to Pitt.
An LAPD spokesperson confirmed that officers responded to a break-in around 10:30pm on Wednesday at a property in the Los Feliz area, though they did not identify the homeowner.
Property records indicate that Pitt purchased the house for $5.5 million (£4.35m) in April 2023, according to real estate platform Traded.
The actor has been travelling abroad to promote his racing film, F1, which also stars Kerry Condon and Damson Idris.
He appeared at the London premiere on Monday with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, where he was joined by Tom Cruise and Sir Lewis Hamilton.
However Pitt was reportedly in Japan on Wednesday, the night of the break-in, according to TMZ.
The Standard has contacted Brad Pitt’s rep for comment.
The break-in is part of a spate of high-profile burglaries in Los Angeles, with celebrities increasingly being targeted. Recent victims include Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Austin Butler, and LAFC footballer Olivier Giroud.
Earlier this year, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s home was also reportedly broken into during daylight hours.
According to NBC News, the LAPD’s Chief of Police revealed that residential burglaries in the city have risen by 4% in 2024, with more than half of the cases involving private homes similar to the one linked to Pitt.
