Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s home in a gated community near Beverly Hills was burglarized late Friday night, according to law enforcement sources. The couple, who were not present during the incident, have become the latest high-profile victims in a series of burglaries targeting affluent residences in Los Angeles.
Authorities reported that the break-in occurred around 8 p.m. on Lime Orchard Road. A security guard alerted police after discovering that a burglar had smashed a glass door to gain entry. The intruder ransacked the home before fleeing the scene. As of now, it remains unclear if any items were stolen during the incident.
The couple’s residence is located within the Hidden Valley gated community, an area known for its celebrity residents, including Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, and Jennifer Lawrence. Kidman and Urban purchased their home in 2008 for approximately $4.7 million. The property spans 4,100 square feet, featuring five bedrooms and expansive views of the surrounding canyons.
This burglary is part of a troubling trend, as numerous celebrities have reported similar incidents recently. Law enforcement suggests that these crimes are less about the fame of the homeowners and more focused on the high-value items typically found in luxury homes. Investigations indicate that some of these burglaries are linked to organized theft rings, particularly those originating from South America, which have been targeting the homes of professional athletes and other affluent individuals across the country.
Earlier this month, another high-profile case involved LAFC striker Olivier Giroud, whose home was also burglarized, resulting in the theft of approximately $500,000 worth of valuables, including luxury watches. The LAPD continues to investigate potential connections between these incidents to determine if they are part of a larger criminal operation.
As the investigation into Kidman and Urban’s burglary unfolds, it highlights the ongoing concerns regarding security for celebrities and affluent individuals in Los Angeles, where the allure of high-end items can attract criminal attention.
