Hollywood icon Brad Pitt has become the latest victim in a troubling wave of celebrity home invasions across Los Angeles. While the actor was overseas promoting his much-anticipated Formula 1 movie, his $5.5 million Los Feliz home was broken into and ransacked by burglars.
Break-In While Pitt Attended London Premiere
According to a report from AP News, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that the burglary occurred late Wednesday night. Officers responded to a home alarm around 10:30 p.m. on the 2300 block of North Edgemont Street. Upon arrival, they discovered that three unidentified suspects had broken in through the front window, ransacked the residence, and fled with miscellaneous property.
While police did not officially confirm the homeowner’s name, real estate records link the property to Pitt, who reportedly purchased it for $5.5 million in April 2023. So far, no arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Pitt Was in London With Ines de Ramon
At the time of the break-in, Brad Pitt was in London, walking the red carpet with girlfriend Ines de Ramon for the world premiere of his new movie, F1. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), the film sees Pitt portray Sonny Hayes, a retired Formula 1 driver making a comeback to rescue a struggling team.
The premiere was also notable for Pitt’s public reunion with Tom Cruise, marking their first appearance together in over 20 years.
Celebrity Burglaries on the Rise
This incident adds to a growing list of high-profile burglaries in Los Angeles, with thieves increasingly targeting celebrity homes while stars are traveling or attending public events. While the exact items stolen from Pitt’s home remain undisclosed, the break-in has raised new concerns about security vulnerabilities facing A-list homeowners.
As Pitt prepares for the global rollout of F1, his team has yet to release a statement regarding the burglary. Meanwhile, LAPD is urging residents in the area to remain vigilant as the search for the suspects continues.
