Brad Pitt’s Los Angeles residence was the target of a burglary while the actor was away promoting his latest film, “F1.” The Los Angeles Police Department responded to the incident in the upscale Los Feliz neighborhood on the evening of June 25, confirming the break-in occurred around 10:30 p.m. local time.
According to police reports, three suspects gained access to Pitt’s property by jumping over a fence. They allegedly broke into the home through a front window, leaving behind a scene described as “ransacked.” Investigators are currently reviewing surveillance footage from the estate to identify the culprits. While the exact items taken from the home remain undisclosed, law enforcement sources indicated that an “unknown amount” of miscellaneous belongings were stolen.
Pitt, who was not home at the time of the burglary, was attending the London premiere of “F1: The Movie.” Photographed with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, the actor was seen on the red carpet alongside his co-stars at the Cineworld Leicester Square, marking another stop on his promotional tour for the film, which is set to hit theaters on June 27.
This incident adds to a troubling trend of celebrity burglaries that have occurred in recent times. Earlier this year, several high-profile athletes, including Kansas City Chiefs players Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, were victims of similar crimes. In February, seven suspects were charged in connection with a series of burglaries targeting professional athletes. Additionally, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Los Angeles home was reportedly burglarized on Valentine’s Day.
The recent spate of burglaries has raised concerns among Hollywood stars, prompting discussions about security measures and the safety of celebrity homes. As for Pitt, a spokesperson declined to comment on the incident, but sources close to him have indicated that he is focusing on his work and maintaining a positive outlook following past personal challenges.
In a recent interview, Pitt expressed his renewed passion for acting while working on “F1.” He reflected on his long career and the excitement of storytelling, stating, “Man, I’ve been doing this for a while and was wondering: Do I have more stories to tell? Do I have anything to add to this? Is there still any excitement?”
As the investigation into the burglary continues, fans and followers of the actor remain supportive, eager to see what he will accomplish next in his career. With “F1” poised to be a significant release, Pitt’s focus appears to be on his craft, even amid the unsettling events at his home.
