Beverly Hills Home Invasion Targets Celebrity Residences
A recent surge in celebrity home burglaries has reached the Beverly Hills residence of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) confirmed the break-in at Kidman and Urban’s mansion on Lime Orchard Road on the night of February 14. At this time, it remains unclear what specific items were taken from the property.
Incident Details
According to LAPD reports, the incident occurred around 8 p.m. when the couple was not present in their $4.7 million home. A security guard on site reported that an intruder accessed the property by smashing a glass door, proceeding to rummage through the couple’s personal belongings before fleeing the scene.
Location and Neighborhood
Kidman and Urban’s five-bedroom home, purchased in 2008, is situated within the exclusive Hidden Valley gated community. This enclave is known for housing several high-profile celebrities, including Adele, Cameron Diaz, Katy Perry, Nicole Richie, and Penélope Cruz. Despite the community’s security measures, it remains uncertain how the intruder managed to breach the gated perimeter.
Community Reaction and Implications
The couple has not issued any public statements regarding the burglary at this time. The incident has raised concerns about security among residents, spurring discussions on potential enhancements to existing safety measures. This marks another entry in a worrying trend of targeted celebrity home invasions, prompting some to consider additional personal security evaluations.
Public Appearances and Upcoming Events
Despite the unsettling event, there are expectations that Kidman and Urban might appear together at upcoming entertainment industry events such as the SAG Awards and the Oscars. However, Kidman was not nominated for either event this year, despite her notable performance in Babygirl as a tech CEO embroiled in a controversial affair.
