Brad Pitt Strengthens Security After Break-In, Neighbors Criticize Fence

Brad Pitt has expanded the security at his nearly $6 million Los Angeles home.

It comes weeks after the 61-year-old actor’s mansion was broken into while he was in Tokyo on June 25.

The thieves gained access to Pitt’s Los Feliz residence after climbing the fence and entering through the front windows. 

A source told The US Sun, ‘Neighborhood security was at the house about an hour before it happened.’

The outlet’s insider noted, ‘He has personal security that was always there when he was in residence, but now he has guards there all the time. Locals did worry about the fact Brad didn’t put up a good fence or a hedge, and the home was fairly easy to access.’

It was added that ‘as soon as the neighborhood security was off shift, three guys jumped [the fence]. It was really unfortunate.’

Three burglars reportedly ransacked the property for about 10 minutes before fleeing with an unknown amount of Brad’s possessions.

No arrests have been made as the police investigate.

24/7 security can run homeowners tens of thousands of dollars, but the Hollywood A-lister ‘has enough cash,’ according to the person close to the situation.

His neighbors suggested security at the mansion may have been compromised in the days leading up to the dramatic June break-in.

They claim they had not seen an unmarked private patrol car normally stationed right outside the actor’s driveway for several days before the raid.

Pitt moved from a $33 million home in the same area when he bought the smaller mid-century house, which previously belonged to Aileen Getty, in April 2023.

Dubbed ‘The Steel House,’ it’s 2,000 sq ft, L-shaped, and has just three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Amenities include a swimming pool and built-in sauna, and the home has floor-to-ceiling windows.

On July 6 law enforcement detained an individual who entered the Los Feliz enclave by slipping through a gate.

The unwelcome visitor had made it onto the street where Kristen Bell and husband Dax Shepard live when police caught up with him, according to TMZ.

Insiders said that both security and residents called the police on the ‘known’ suspect, who tried to make a run for it before he was arrested.
