Brad Pitt's mansion was broken into, ex-wife Angelina Jolie ignored it

Brad Pitt’s $5.5 million mansion in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, USA, has just been the target of a daring burglary. The incident occurred on the night of June 25, when the actor was not at home due to a business trip to Japan to promote F1.

According to NBC News, Los Angeles police confirmed that they received a report of the break-in at 10:30 p.m. The suspects are believed to have climbed over the front fence and entered the mansion through a window. Security camera footage shows at least three people involved in the theft. However, the identities and whereabouts of the suspects are still under investigation.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said the suspects ransacked the entire house and took several items. The exact amount of damage was not immediately known. Sources told TMZ that a crew of workers were on the scene after the incident to repair damage to the home. A service vehicle was seen parked outside the mansion the next morning.

Brad Pitt's representative declined to comment on the incident, while sources close to the actor confirmed he had been notified and was cooperating with authorities.

New Villa and Life with a New Girlfriend

The mansion that was broken into is located in the upscale Los Feliz neighborhood, and was purchased by Brad Pitt in April 2023 for about $5.5 million. This is where he reportedly lives with his girlfriend, American jewelry designer Ines de Ramon. She is currently out of the US because she is traveling around the world with the actor on international business trips. A source for People said that Ines and Brad started living together in late 2023, but both have kept their private lives private from the media.

Previously, Brad Pitt owned a large mansion also located in the Los Feliz area, including many adjacent lots purchased from 1994 to 2009. This real estate has a total area of more than 7,600 m², which was once associated with Brad Pitt's image during the peak of his career. However, in 2023, he sold this land to Aileen Getty - heiress to the Getty Oil corporation - for 33 million USD.

Angelina Jolie 's ex-wife lives near Brad Pitt's house

One notable detail is that Brad Pitt's house is less than a 5-minute drive from his ex-wife Angelina Jolie's. Angelina Jolie lives in a 8,500-square-foot mansion also in the Los Feliz area, which she bought in 2017 for $24.5 million. This was once the mansion of film legend Cecil B. DeMille. Jolie chose to live near her ex-husband's house so that her children - Maddox, Pax Thien, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox - could easily meet both parents.

Angelina Jolie is still busy with many international projects, while also running her own fashion company called Atelier Jolie - a sustainable fashion brand that she launched in 2023. She is also a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and regularly appears at humanitarian events around the world.

Although officially divorced in 2016 after 2 years of marriage, the relationship between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie still attracts public attention. The two continue to dispute over child custody and joint assets, especially the purchase of the Château Miraval winery in France - which used to be a symbol of their love.

Wave of thefts targeting California's super-rich

Brad Pitt is not the only victim in a wave of increasingly brazen burglaries in wealthy neighborhoods in Los Angeles and Southern California. In recent years, many celebrities have had their belongings stolen, from expensive jewelry to designer goods and cash.

The list of high-profile victims includes Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban, actor Jeremy Piven, DJ Marshmello, actor Austin Butler, NBA player Ty Jerome, LAFC forward Olivier Giroud and Selling Sunset couple Mary and Romain Bonnet. Los Angeles police say many professional burglary gangs have taken advantage of business trips, charity events or tour schedules to break into celebrity homes.

Security experts say that the fact that celebrities have their home addresses made public on legal documents, tax records, or social media is one of the reasons why celebrities are targeted. In addition, many California mansions are large, hidden from view, and lack 24/7 security, making them vulnerable to bad guys.

The burglary at Brad Pitt's home is still under investigation, with no further information about the suspect or the stolen property. Experts recommend that artists and celebrities increase security measures, including surveillance cameras, motion sensors and professional security teams.
