Authorities are actively investigating a recent burglary at a mansion in Los Angeles that is reportedly owned by actor Brad Pitt. The incident took place while the Hollywood star was away promoting his latest film, F1. According to police statements, three unidentified suspects broke into the property through a front window, ransacked the premises, and fled with various items. The total value of the stolen property has not been disclosed, and officials have not yet apprehended any suspects. Importantly, no one was home at the time of the break-in.
Though the LAPD has not officially confirmed the mansion’s ownership, reports from the Associated Press indicate that Pitt purchased the $5.5 million estate in April 2023. The residence was previously owned by oil heiress Aileen Getty, who exchanged the property with Pitt as part of a high-profile real estate deal—she acquired his former Hollywood Hills home for $33 million in return. This isn’t Pitt’s only luxury property; he also owns a notable estate in Carmel-by-the-Sea, purchased in 2022.
The burglary comes at a time when Brad Pitt is immersed in promotional activities for F1, a film that appears to have rekindled his passion for acting. Reflecting on the project during a recent press interview, Pitt said he had questioned whether he still had new stories to tell or excitement to find in his work. However, he credited F1 with reigniting his creative drive and enthusiasm for filmmaking. As the investigation into the break-in continues, fans and law enforcement alike await further updates on the incident and its potential impact on the actor’s personal security.
