A Los Angeles home reportedly owned by Brad Pitt was “ransacked” by burglars Wednesday night, according to police.
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a home in the Los Feliz neighborhood at around 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. “Three suspects broke into the residence via the front window, ransacked the location, then fled the location with miscellaneous property,” according to police.
LAPD would not identify who owned the home or the items that were stolen, but the Associated Press reported that the Oscar-nominated actor bought the house for $5.5 million in April 2023, according to the commercial real estate website Traded.
Authorities confirmed no one was home at the time of the burglary. Pitt has been traveling in recent weeks on a promotional tour for his new film, F1: The Movie. Earlier this week, on Monday, he was seen at the movie’s international premiere in London.
THR has reached out to Pitt’s rep for comment.
F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski, follows Pitt’s Sonny Hayes, a Formula One driver who comes out of retirement to mentor and team up with a younger driver, Damson Idris’ Joshua Pearce. The film hits theaters on Friday.
Lovia Gyarkye wrote in her review for The Hollywood Reporter: “The strongest scenes in F1 … are these moments during race weekends, when Kosinki embeds his fictional team with real ones.” Concludes the critic: “Of course, there are some unrealistic elements in F1, bits that might have sticklers raising an eyebrow, but the film doesn’t feel any less dramatic than the real thing.”
NBC News was first to report the news of the burglary.
