Actor Returns from “F1” Press Tour to Shocking Break-In at His Home
Brad Pitt has become the latest celebrity targeted by Los Angeles burglars — and this one hit close to home. Literally.
While the Hollywood icon was overseas promoting his new racing movie “F1” in Japan, a group of suspected burglars broke into his Los Feliz estate late Wednesday night, according to the LAPD.
???? Cops Confirm Break-In, 3 Suspects Involved
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ and TPR that officers responded to Pitt’s home around Wednesday evening after a report of a possible break-in. Investigators now believe three suspects gained entry to the property — though what they may have taken remains unclear.
“Brad was not home at the time,” police confirmed.
“The investigation is ongoing.”
????️ Forced Entry? Front Door Boarded Up
Photos snapped at the scene show plywood covering the front door, suggesting that may have been how the burglars got inside. Also spotted at the home: a repair crew van and workers fixing damage — a sign that the break-in may have caused some structural chaos.
????️ Brad Was Abroad for “F1” Press Tour
The timing couldn’t have been worse. While his home was under siege, Pitt was miles away in Japan, flashing smiles on the red carpet for his new Formula One-inspired blockbuster.
“F1” is one of the most anticipated action flicks of 2025 — but the real drama was unfolding back in Los Angeles.
???? Hollywood’s New Crime Wave?
Brad now joins a long (and growing) list of celebs whose homes have been targeted by burglars in 2025, including:
- Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban
- Jeremy Piven
- DJ Marshmello
- Austin Butler
- NBA player Ty Jerome
- LAFC star Olivier Giroud
- Selling Sunset’s Mary & Romain Bonnet
Many of these high-profile victims share a similar pattern: they were out of town or publicly visible when their homes were broken into — leading experts to suspect that celebrity schedules are being tracked.
???? Pitt’s Team Stays Quiet
A rep for Brad declined to comment on the break-in. No official statement has been released from his team, and it’s unknown if the actor has returned to L.A. yet.
But with rising crime against celebrities in the city, fans are already calling for heightened security and privacy protections for stars — especially during international press tours.
???? What Happens Next?
Police are still investigating, and no arrests have been made as of press time. It’s unclear if the home had surveillance footage or if Pitt will increase security at the property moving forward.
