Burglars “ransacked” a Los Angeles property apparently owned by Brad Pitt on Wednesday night, police said.
The Hollywood Reporter has learnt that officers from the Los Angeles Police Department rushed to a residence in the Los Feliz neighborhood about 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday. “Three suspects broke into the residence via the front window, ransacked the location, then fled the location with miscellaneous property,” according to law enforcement.
The LAPD would not say who owned the house or what was stolen, but the Associated Press reported that the Oscar-nominated actor purchased it for $5.5 million in April 2023, according to the commercial real estate website Traded.

Authorities confirmed that no one was home at the time of the burglary. Pitt has spent recent weeks on a promotional tour for his new film, F1: The Movie. Earlier this week, on Monday, he attended the film’s international premiere in London.
THR has reached out to Pitt’s representative for comment.

F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski, follows Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a Formula One driver who comes out of retirement to coach and collaborate with a younger driver, Damson Idris’ Joshua Pearce. The film hits theaters on Friday.
According to Lovia Gyarkye’s review for The Hollywood Reporter, the most powerful scenes in F1 occur on race weekends, when Kosinki integrates his fictional squad with actual ones. The critic’s last words: “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.”
