“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” stars Kathy Hilton and Sutton Stracke‘s Los Angeles homes have been burglarized while the reality TV queens were attending BravoCon in Las Vegas this past weekend.
Paris Hilton‘s 66-year-old mother and socialite Stracke, 54, were both in attendance at the annual event alongside a host of their fellow Bravolebrities, including “Southern Charm” star Shep Rose, showrunner and TV host Andy Cohen, and “Vanderpump Rules” leading lady Lisa Vanderpump.
However, for Hilton and Stracke, the festivities ended on an incredibly sour note after they discovered that their homes had been targeted by thieves in the latest of a long line of celebrity break-ins that have been reported in the greater Los Angeles area in recent months.
Both break-ins are understood to have occurred on Nov. 15, according to TMZ, which reported that Hilton’s husband Rick was actually present in their dwelling at the time—and phoned 911 at around 11:48 p.m. local time to report that three thieves had accessed the property.
The trio is understood to have escaped before officers arrived on the scene.
A spokesperson for the couple later confirmed that nobody had been injured in the break-in, telling Today: “There was a break-in. Everyone is fine.”
Stracke, meanwhile, shared details of the break-in at her own home, revealing that the suspects stole multiple designer items, including “all” of her “luxury handbags.”
“The individuals involved entered through a kitchen window and stole all of my luxury handbags, including pieces from Hermes, Chanel and other designers. They also took my fine jewelry,” she revealed in a statement.
She said that she was notified by the LAPD Saturday morning that her home had been burglarized.
“I am cooperating fully with authorities as they continue their investigation,” she said.
Stracke noted that she has since hired 24/7 security and upgraded their surveillance system.
The burglaries come months after Hilton and Stracke’s castmate, Teddi Mellencamp, also suffered from a home invasion when her Los Angeles home was targeted.
At the time, her estranged spouse, Edwin Arroyave, revealed to NBC that that three people jumped their gate and set off their alarm system.
He noted that the intruders broke in through a sliding door that led into the office; however, they quickly fled the property.
A number of A-listers have had their homes burglarized within the past year, prompting many of them to seek more security or even purchase new homes.
In June, Brad Pitt was the victim of a crime ring targeting celebrities’ homes.
Police revealed the thieves “made a real mess” of the property, making off with several stolen items.
Pitt, who owns multiple properties across the globe, is understood to have been away from the dwelling when the incident occurred on the evening of June 25, having appeared at the London premiere of his new movie, “F1,” on June 23.
Police stated that the burglars accessed the property at around 10:30 p.m., after scaling a fence and then breaking a window, but authorities have not revealed whether Pitt’s girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, or anyone else was present when the robbery took place.
Authorities said that they responded to a triggered alarm at the property and discovered evidence of the break-in when they arrived at Pitt’s address.
Sources who were “not authorized to discuss the case” told the Los Angeles Times that the thieves appeared to have “gone through [the home] looking for what they could take of value,” adding that they made “a real mess” of Pitt’s property in the process.
Images taken outside of the dwelling on June 26 showed investigators combing the abode for evidence; however, no other updates have yet been released about whether authorities have any suspects in the case.
The home is one of several in the actor’s property portfolio, and it is understood to have served as his home base in Los Angeles, with his other homes located in Carmel and the South of France.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban‘s $8.4 million Beverly Hills mansion was also burglarized on Valentine’s Day of this year.
TMZ stated that Kidman and Urban, both 57, were not at their seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom property when it was targeted, adding that “one of their employees” arrived back at the home while the intruder was there and “scared them off.”
Days earlier, the home of LAFC soccer star Oliver Giroud was also broken into by thieves who stole an estimated $500,000 worth of jewelry, according to ESPN.
Authorities responded to a 911 call on Feb. 5 made by Giroud’s wife, Jennifer, who stated that she had discovered an upstairs window at the home had been broken and that multiple items of value had been stolen.
Then, in May, a man was arrested after driving through the gates of a Bel-Air home owned by Pitt’s ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, who is understood to have been present in the property when the incident took place.
