A real-life event occurred at Brad Pitt's Los Angeles residence in the upscale Los Feliz neighborhood on Tuesday night, June 25, when it was burglarized. The frightening encounter took place while the Academy Award winner was out of town promoting his new film, making his multimillion-dollar home a target for a brazen and invasive home invasion.
The three unnamed thugs climbed to the front of the property, where they broke into the building after gaining entrance through a window, sources said. The break-in is said to have taken place around 10:30 p.m. in the dark of night, and Pitt was nowhere near the home at the time. He was last spotted at the U.K. premiere of his forthcoming film about Formula 1, which premiered in New York on June 16.
Once inside, thieves trashed the home and stole an undisclosed amount of personal property. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed a break-in but, due to ongoing investigations, did not disclose the homeowner's name in response to a call about the incident. However, insiders connected the property directly to Pitt.

What was taken remains unclear. The full value of the stolen items is still being tallied, and authorities are investigating whether surveillance footage or witness reports can help identify the assailants. There are no arrests, and the LAPD has yet to issue a statement. In the meantime, a rep for Pitt did not respond to a request for comment on the situation. This break-in adds another layer to concerns around celebrity security in Los Angeles, primarily when high-profile residents are known to be traveling. The incident has served as a jarring reminder of the recent spate of high-profile crime in affluent neighborhoods, typically during public events and international press tours.
The 61-year-old Brad Pitt, who has resided in Los Feliz for decades, is said to live a down-to-earth life despite his worldwide fame. The break-in has rekindled conversation about how no amount of security can make the most prominent Hollywood names invulnerable. As investigations are being carried out, fans and other celebrities are reeling from the revelations. With Pitt away on tour promoting his new film, the robbery could change everything for him, not to mention other stars whose homes are now quiet targets when they're out of town.
