Even Hollywood elites are facing the harsh reality of crime in Los Angeles as three burglars ransacked Brad Pitt’s luxurious Los Feliz home.
The invasion of Pitt’s personal sanctuary highlights the growing lawlessness in the Democrat-run city.
The actor joins an expanding list of celebrities whose homes have been targeted while California politicians focus on woke policies instead of public safety.
Three suspects broke into Brad Pitt’s Los Angeles home while the actor was away promoting his new movie.
The burglars jumped over a fence at the Los Feliz residence before breaking in through a front window.
Police responded to an alarm call only to discover the home had been thoroughly ransacked, with an unknown amount of property stolen from the $5.5 million property Pitt purchased in April 2023.
Law enforcement sources confirmed the incident occurred on the 2300 block of Edgemont Street, but the LAPD has not officially identified Pitt as the homeowner.
The 60-year-old actor was not home during the break-in as he was busy on a promotional tour for “F1: The Movie,” which is releasing in theaters today.
The film features Pitt as a retired Formula One driver who returns to mentor a younger racer.
The break-in at Pitt’s residence is just the latest in a troubling trend of high-profile burglaries targeting celebrities in the Los Angeles area.
Pitt’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston recently became a crime victim when a man named Jimmy Wayne Carwyle rammed through the gates of her Bel Air home, resulting in felony vandalism charges.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Los Angeles home was broken into on Valentine’s Day, while soccer star Olivier Giroud has also experienced a home burglary this year.
Some celebrities have been more fortunate in thwarting would-be intruders.
Tyler Perry’s property was targeted, but security personnel using thermal imaging intercepted the criminals before they could enter.
Similarly, an alarm system prevented burglars from gaining entry to Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s home when it was targeted.
These incidents highlight the lengths to which the wealthy must now go to protect themselves in a city where criminals seem to operate with impunity.
The surge in high-profile burglaries across Los Angeles reflects the consequences of years of progressive criminal justice reforms that have weakened law enforcement and emboldened criminals.
Despite having some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, California continues to see rising property crime rates as prosecutors fail to pursue charges and police departments face defunding threats.
Police are currently investigating the break-in and reviewing available surveillance footage to identify the suspects who remain at large.
It remains unclear whether Pitt was specifically targeted or if this was a random burglary of a high-value home.
Pitt’s representatives have not responded to requests for comment from multiple news outlets.
