Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban's Home Burglarized on Valentine's Day
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's Beverly Hills house was burglarized on Friday night (Feb. 14), law enforcement told The Los Angeles Times. The couple was thankfully not home at the the time of the incident. Officers reportedly responded to a report of burglary at 8 p.m. on Valentine's Day on Lime Orchard Road, which is inside a gated community. A security guard then told police that the perpetrator smashed the house's glass door, ransacked the premises and left. It's not currently known which, if any, items were stolen.

The FBI announced in December that they believed organized theft groups from South America were behind the burglaries, which targeted a number of professional athletes in the fall. In January, the Beverly Hills Police Department and Glendale Police Department arrested five suspects believed to be part of the criminal ring. However, it's unclear if the latest incident is connected to the others. In more positive Kidman news, the actress was honored with the International Star Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival's Film Awards Gala last month, and the award was presented to her by Jamie Lee Curtis. 'My whole career has been for my mom and my dad, and they're not here anymore,' Kidman said during her acceptance speech. 'I want to keep working and giving to the world. I'm sorry I'm crying. I didn't want to do that, but I feel my mama right now. This is for you, Mama.'
