Police are investigating a burglary at a Los Angeles home reportedly owned by Brad Pitt. The actor was not on the premises at the time of the break-in on Wednesday evening, as he has been traveling to promote his new racing thriller “F1.” A carpet premiere event for the film was held Monday in London.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to the Associated Press and NBC News that authorities responded to a break-in on the 2300 block of North Edgemont Street in the Los Feliz neighborhood of the city.
Three suspects reportedly breached the premises by climbing a fence and entering through a front window, “ransacking” the home and fleeing with an undisclosed amount of property. The value of the items taken was not disclosed. The suspects have not been publicly identified.
The burglarized property was purchased by Pitt in 2023 at a cost of $5.5 million, according to architecture magazine Domus. The abode was previously owned by oil heiress Aileen Getty, who, in exchange, acquired Pitt’s own old house in the eastern Hollywood Hills at a cost of $33 million. Pitt also owns another property in Carmel-by-the-Sea — a mansion he purchased in 2022.
Pitt has been promoting the Warner Bros. release of Apple Studios’ “F1,” which began preview screenings Thursday evening and will open theatrically through the coming weekend. In a recent interview with GQ, the 61-year-old actor described how the big-budget blockbuster reaffirmed his thrill for acting.
“Man, I’ve been doing this for a while and was wondering: Do I have more stories to tell? Do I have anything to add to this? Is there still any excitement I can find from this?” Pitt said. “[This film] just reinvigorated the whole thing again for me.”
