Kyle Richards’ eldest daughter was the victim of a burglarly last week, and now the toll of the crime is coming into focus
Farrah Aldjufrie, 35, was the victim of theft in excess of $1 million, law enforcement sources told TMZ on Tuesday.
Among the luxury goods stolen from her were Hermès bags, fancy wristwatches, designer luggage and particularly valuable jewelry, they said.
Kyle and a frantic-looking Farrah were previously spotted outside the celebrity daughter’s home on Tuesday, April 23 — the day of the burglary — as police investigated.
Although Farrah— whom Kyle shares with her first husband, Guraish Aldjufrie — is part of a wealthy and high-profile family, the law enforcement sources currently don’t believe that she was being targeted.

Instead, the burglary may have been the work of a South American group that has been targeting wealthy homes in the area recently, the sources claimed.
In addition to objectively expensive missing items, some of Farrah’s stolen possessions had sentimental value.
Among the missing possessions are jewelry pieces that had circulated through her stepfather Mauricio Umansky’s family, before he passed them down to her.
Mauricio and his estranged wife Kyle also gave Farrah high schoo. and college graduation gifts that the thieves made off with, as well as presents she still had around from her 21st birthday.
The chilling crime reportedly took place in broad daylight, though Farrah was not home at the time.
Although more details have been revealed about the incident, police are still investigating.
So far, no arrests have been made.
TMZ previously reported that burglars were able to enter by forcing open a door to the house, and they subsequently managed to turn off the Wi-Fi, presumably to prevent further images from security cameras from being sent to Farrah or authorities.
Although Farrah has occasionally appeared on her mother’s reality series The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, she works as a real estate agent at The Agency, the high-profile firm that her stepfather Mauricio co-founded.
As she left the residence on the day of the burglary, Kyle confirmed to a nearby camerawoman that Farrah is safe and doing ‘fine,’ though she didn’t reveal any details about the investigation.
This is just the latest in a string of burglaries that have plagued cast members of Bravo’s RHOBH in recent years.

Back in December 2017, over $1 million in jewelry was stolen from the Encino home that Kyle shares with estranged husband Mauricio.
The couple — who separated last July after 27 years of marriage — were vacationing with their children in Aspen, Colorado, when the burglary occurred.
They had moved into the $8.2 million property just a few months before the break-in, and they were in the midst of renovations at the time.
The burglar or burglars — who were never brought to justice — made out with more than a million dollars in jewelry, including $150,000 in watches owned by Umansky and the diamond earrings he famously gave Kyle on their 20th anniversary.
