Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s LA Home Gets Burglarized
A thief broke through a window at Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s LA home over the weekend. Staff discovered the break-in at their massive Beverly Hills property while the couple was away.
According to TMZ, the burglar ran off when workers came back to the 3,977-square-foot house. Police are still looking for suspects and figuring out what was stolen, though it’s not yet clear what items were taken.
This break-in is just the latest in a string of brazen celebrity home robberies across LA. Recently, burglars took $500,000 worth of jewelry from the home of soccer star Olivier Giroud.
Keith and Nicole bought the five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home back in 2008. A beautiful wraparound deck sits on the second floor.
When the break-in happened, the country superstar was performing at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. His shows will keep going until February 22.
Celebrity neighborhoods are targets for thieves. Most places now have top-notch cameras, high-security locks, and panic rooms for safety.
Security guards watch over celebrity homes 24/7. They combine traditional watchmen with modern security systems. The cost to protect these huge homes runs into millions each year, covering both security equipment and guards.
