Brad Pitt's Los Angeles home 'ransacked' by burglars during F1 promo tour
Los Angeles police are investigating a break-in at a Los Feliz residence reportedly owned by Brad Pitt.
Three suspects allegedly ransacked the property while the actor was overseas promoting his upcoming film, F1 – the latest in a string of high-profile robberies in LA.
Officers responded to the incident on Wednesday night at a home on the 2300 block of North Edgemont Street, according to LAPD spokesperson Officer Drake Madison.
Police were alerted by an alarm call and arrived to find that the suspects had broken in through a front window, rummaged through the home, and fled with unspecified items.
No arrests have been made, and police have not released details about what was stolen.
NBC News originally reported that the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating a burglary at the actor's house.
A spokesperson for the LAPD confirmed to NBC that a break-in occurred at 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday at a residence in the Los Feliz neighborhood, though they could not confirm the exact identity of the homeowner.
Real estate records suggest Pitt purchased the property for $5.5million (£4.35m) in April 2023, as reported by commercial real estate site Traded.
Pitt has been traveling internationally to promote F1, with his most recent public appearance at the film's premiere in London on Monday.

Pitt joins a growing list of celebrities in the Los Angeles area whose homes have been broken into while they're away, with recent victims including Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Austin Butler, and LAFC's Olivier Giroud.
In 2024, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson's LA home was reportedly burglarized in broad daylight. More Trending
According to NBC, LA's Police Chief stated that the number of burglaries reported in the City in 2024 increased by 4%, and that more than half of the locations targeted were residences like Pitt's.
'These are happening very quickly,' Chief Dominic Choi told the Board of Police Commissioners about the uptick in robberies.
'We're not seeing the entire house being ransacked,' he continued.
'These individuals that are conducting these high-end burglaries know what they're looking for, and they're in and out in a few minutes.'

This is why Jurassic World Rebirth, starring Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey (and produced by Steven Spielberg!) is this summer's most epic blockbuster
The iconic series is now back, and going back to it's roots to deliver thrills for all the family - and the stakes are higher than ever... From director Gareth Edwards and starring action movie icons Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey, Jurassic World Rebirth hits cinemas on July 2 and promises to be the blockbuster event of the summer. As the official trailer shows, the film sees an extraction team race to the most dangerous place on earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park - inhabited only by the most dangerous dinosaurs that were left behind. These colossal creatures pose a mortal threat to any human that crosses them, but they also hold - in their DNA - the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits. Skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett (Johansson) is tasked with leading a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. Yet when her team is left stranded, they come face to face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades. The only way to experience the intense, extraordinary action of Jurassic World Rebirth is by watching it on the big screen. But with the release date fast approaching, time is running out to reserve your tickets for opening night. Here are nine reasons you won't want to miss it! 1 - The stellar cast Given how large Jurassic Park looms in our culture, it's no surprise this movie has managed to pull in some big names. Even so, the line-up goes beyond anything we could have expected. Johansson excels as the formidable Zora, who finds her foil in Bailey's Dr Henry Loomis - an expert palaeontologist more suited to laid-back lab work than surviving the world's most hostile environment. They're joined by two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali playing Duncan Kincaid - Zora's most trusted team member - alongside a host of other acclaimed international stars including Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo. 2 - Gareth Edwards is the perfect director Any Jurassic film relies on powerful visuals, and no one does these better than Gareth Edwards. Throughout the film he brings big beasts to life with spine-tingling effect, creating an experience so immediate and visceral that you could be staring up at them yourself - rather than sitting in the safety of your local cinema. One of Edwards' executive producers is Steven Spielberg, who needs absolutely no introduction, and the film has been written by David Koepp who also wrote the original Jurassic park. An iconic team behind the camera! 3 - The new dinosaur breeds This is a new era, so alongside a refreshed cast and director we're also treated to new dinosaurs, including previously unknown breeds alongside some familiar ones. These are every bit as menacing and evil as you could hope - and sure to loom large in your imagination long after you've left the cinema. We particularly love the marauding aquatic dinos that harass Zora's squad out at sea, a moment that's previewed in the trailer. But there are plenty more creatures to discover too. And given the extraction team needs to get blood samples from the three biggest ones, you won't be surprised things get hairy! 4 - It's joyfully nostalgic Johansson recently recalled watching the Jurassic Park movies in the cinema - an experience many of us will relate to. By nodding back to the style of the original films, Jurassic World Rebirth achieves the feat of feeling wonderfully nostalgic at the same time as being exciting and new. You'll find yourself thrilled to recognise some familiar settings and sequences. But most importantly, the film revives the same sense of awe, wonder and excitement that we felt all those years ago. Combined with strong storytelling and powerful visuals, sound and music play a key role in building drama and suspense. We're in good hands for Jurassic World Rebirth, which features music by two-time Academy Award winner Alexandre Desplat. Meanwhile, the theme is by legendary five-time Academy Award winning composer John Williams. 6 - It's pure escapism The best films wrench you so far away from ordinary life that the simple act of walking back out onto the street feels like a shock. That's undoubtedly the case with this movie, which places you at the heart of a death-defying mission of the highest possible importance. Regardless of the time of day or what you were doing before you sat down in the cinema, for the entire film you won't be thinking about anything else. Bringing Jurassic World to life requires a mastery of visual and special effects. So it's just as well Edwards is working alongside some of the best in the business, including Oscar nominee David Vickery and Carlos Ciudad (of F9: The Fast Saga). What's more, special effects supervision comes courtesy of two-time Academy Award winner Neil Corbould. 8 - Everyone will be talking about it Movies aren't just about what happens in the cinema... Anyone who's watched a big blockbuster has plenty they want to talk about, from their favourite characters and funny moments to any surprising moments they hadn't seen coming. By watching Jurassic World Rebirth as soon as it's released, you'll be able to take part in these conversations from the get-go rather than feeling left out. As one of the biggest movie releases of the year, you'll want to enjoy Jurassic World Rebirth in its full glory. The extraordinary visuals and explosive audio of a film like this can only be experienced to their full, immersive effect on the big screen. There's simply no other option!

Squid Game season 3 ending explained with shock cameo that'll make fans scream
Warning: major spoilers ahead for Squid Game season 3. Squid Game season 3 has finally dropped in its entirety on Netflix – and we're going to need a minute to pick our jaws up from the floor. The release date for the third season came just six months after the second, so viewers haven't had to wait long to find out what became of Seong Gi-hun, aka Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae) after he failed to carry out a rebellion against the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun). Not only does the final season reveal his fate, but it also features a mind-blowing cameo that's going to leave fans screaming at the top of their lungs. Let's unpack that ending, the arrival of a bona fide Hollywood legend and what it could mean for the future of this sadistic but gripping TV universe. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video At the end of Squid Game season three, the show flashes forward to six months after the latest game has ended… and reveals a major, shocking cameo in the final moments. The Front Man is in Los Angeles, paying a visit to Gi-hun's daughter, who lives in the US with her mother. The young girl is initially angry about being visited by someone who knows her father, as her dad hasn't spoken to her in years, but she's left shocked when she's then informed by the Front Man that Gi-hun has died and that he has come to deliver his belongings. When he leaves in his car, she opens the box that she was given to discover Gi-hun's bloodied Squid Game uniform, as well as a gold credit card in a little black envelope, presumably linked to the extraordinary amount of money that he previously won in the game. The Front Man drives into the city, and as his car pauses, he opens the window and looks out at a couple of people playing the game ddakji on the street. Rather than it being the Recruiter (Gong Yoo), who died in season two, it's a woman leading the game, playing against a man who looks as though he could be homeless. Whenever he loses a round, she slaps him in the face, just like how the Recruiter used to do. As the woman turns to look at the Front Man, it's revealed that she's played by none other than Hollywood legend Cate Blanchett. When her identity was revealed, our jaws were literally on the ground. The arrival of Cate in Squid Game, after her appearance was loosely rumoured in the past, feels like a game-changing moment for the franchise. On one hand, this might be a one-off cameo, allowing fans to let their imaginations wander as they consider how Squid Game might have expanded in the US (or already been operating). On the other hand, perhaps this could result in a Squid Game spin-off that focuses on the American faction of the competition? To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The creator Hwang Dong-hyuk previously spoke about developing a spin-off series and expanding the universe of Squid Game, telling Metro that he was keen on exploring the three-year gap between seasons one and two, which would reveal more about the Front Man, the Recruiter and Captain Park (Oh Dal-su). However, he did say that the idea wasn't set in stone yet… and maybe a spin-off with Cate as the new Recruiter could also be in the pipeline. We wouldn't put it past him! As with any season of Squid Game, there are plenty of devastating fatalities by the end of the final season. Most notably – this is sadly the end of the protagonist, Gi-hun. In the final game, the version of Squid Game where the remaining players are placed on huge pillars and forced to push others off the edge to survive, Gi-hun winds up one of the final players along with crypto influencer Lee Myung-gi (Im Si-wan) and the baby that Myung-gi had with the deceased Kim Jun-hee (Jo Yu-ri). After getting into a brutal fight, watched by the ghoulish VIPs from their luxury box, Myung-gi falls to his death, while Gi-hun climbs back onto the pillar and picks the baby girl back up who he swore to protect. Forced to decide between saving his own life or the baby's – a choice that we audience members know is obvious – Gi-hun puts the baby down on the ground safely away from the edge and then declares that the players are human beings, not horses. He then leans backwards and falls to his death, resulting in the newborn being named the winner. After finding out that the coast guard is close to the island, the Front Man sets off a self-destruct button with a 30-minute timer and orders all of the guards to evacuate. When he goes to get the baby from the pillar, he's confronted by his brother, police detective Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon). The Front Man and the guards escape, while Jun-ho makes it off the island alive. Pink Guard Kang No-eul (Park Gyu-young), who almost took her own life, also decides to flee and survive. Six months later, No-eul reunites with Park Gyeong-seok (Lee Jin-wook), the player whom she helped escape the game so that he could return to his severely ill daughter. Now, his daughter is in better health, and Gyeong-seok still has no idea of the identity of the guard who saved his life. So, the only two players to survive from this latest iteration of the game were the baby and Gyeong-seok. No-eul is told that her daughter, whom she lost contact with after she defected from North Korea, is possibly alive in China, and so she makes her way there in the hope of a reunion. More Trending While Gi-hun's daughter is given a credit card with access to his prize money, former police detective Jun-ho is also in for a surprise when he goes home one day to find Jun-hee's now six-month-old baby on his bed. The baby has been left with a credit card that has access to the 46.5billion won prize money that the little girl is entitled to. Even though it appeared as though the Front Man wanted nothing to do with his brother, going so far as to tell Captain Park (Oh Dal-su) to kill him if it prevented him from finding the island, he does still seem to be looking out for him in his own twisted way.

'Angry divorcee' pours petrol in pack tube sparking huge fire inside carriage
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A pensioner is facing 160 counts of attempted murder after allegedly pouring petrol in a packed tube and lighting it on fire. The 67-year-old suspect – named only as Won – is accused of carrying out the deadly act during rush hour on the Seoul Metropolitan Subway in South Korea. He was reportedly dissatisfied with the judgment of his divorce lawsuit, prompting him to plan the attack. No one was seriously hurt, but the damages are estimated to top £161,400. CCTV footage of the heinous act has been released by the Seoul public prosecutor's office. The alleged terror attack resulted in 129 people needing first aid at the scene, with six victims taken to nearby hospitals with injuries. Others were treated for smoke inhalation. Prosecutors say Won deliberately targeted the busy train to gain public attention, before fleeing the scene and being detained later at Yeouinaru Station. But thanks to the passengers' quick actions and the installation of fire-resistant materials, a more devastating tragedy was prevented. Won remains in police custody as the investigation continues. Simon Burras, Managing Director at Applied Industrial Systems (AIS), a tunnel ventilation control system specialist, previously told Metro: 'If there is a fire on the train, then the normal mode of operation is for the train to stop at the next station so that the passengers can evacuate quickly. 'Once the train arrives at the station, the over-platform extraction systems are designed to remove the smoke. The staircase pressurisation systems provide a positive airflow down the escape route so that passengers can escape through smoke-free air. 'If, for some reason, there is a fire and the train is stopped in the tunnel, and passengers have to escape via the tunnel walkways, then the tunnel ventilation system is designed to clear smoke so that they can do so safely. 'Usually, the system works by sending the smoke in one direction and passengers in the other. Along the tunnel, active way-finding lights point in the direction passengers need to take to evacuate.' Yes. More Trending In 2023, a fire on a London Underground train was found to be a deliberate act of arson. Flames were reported to be burning through the end of a carriage on a stationary Tube train in Leyton, melting into the floor. And though it wasn't arson, in February, a fire broke out in a northbound tunnel near Waterloo Underground station. London Fire Brigade and other emergency crews rushed to the scene after reports of a 'ceramic track support' overheating in the Kennington Tunnels on York Road, south east London.
