Brad Pitt's home in Los Angeles was burglarized on Wednesday night while the actor was attending the premiere of his new film "F1." Law enforcement sources reported that three thieves managed to break in around 10:30 p.m. by scaling the security fence and smashing a front window, subsequently ransacking the property and taking an unknown number of items, according to ABC News and BBC.

Police officials confirmed the incident occurred at Pitt's residence in the Los Feliz area but did not initially verify the ownership. Sources indicated that the home matched the address of a property bought by the Oscar-winning actor in 2023. Although details regarding the stolen items remain unclear, reports suggest that thieves "made a real mess" as they searched for valuables, according to sources cited by Los Angeles Times and SFGate.

This latest burglary is part of a disturbing trend in which upscale homes of celebrities have been targeted frequently. Recent similar incidents have affected other stars, with notable examples including Olivier Giroud, whose home was burglarized earlier this year resulting in significant losses. The LAPD is currently investigating the increase in celebrity-targeted crimes, emphasizing that South American theft gangs have been a significant factor, according to Los Angeles Times and ABC News.
