One man shot, another stabbed at supermodel Miranda Kerr’s mansion: report
UPDATE: AN intruder has reportedly been shot in the head after stabbing a security guard in the eye at supermodel Miranda Kerr’s Malibu mansion.
ONE person has reportedly been shot and another stabbed during a “brutal confrontation” at Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr’s Malibu mansion.
According to TMZ, a security guard at the house confronted an intruder who jumped over a fence on Friday morning.
The men got into a fight and rolled on the ground, KTLA 5 reports.
The intruder stabbed the guard in the eye, and the guard then shot the intruder multiple times, according to TMZ. One bullet struck the intruder in the head.
Aerial footage of the home surrounded by emergency services was broadcast by KTLA 5.
Both the intruder and the security guard were flown to hospital and are expected to survive.
Images broadcast by KTLA 5 show what appears to be the injured guard being helped by medics.
Kerr, who apparently lives at the house with her five-year-old son Flynn, was absent at the time of the incident.
She was last spotted in Malibu on Sunday leaving dinner at Soho House with a group of friends.
A photo posted on Twitter by the LA County Sheriff’s Department shows medics treating a Malibu stabbing victim in flight. The patient’s identity is not made clear but it’s believed to be the injured guard.

Seven News US Bureau Chief Mike Amor said it’s believed the intruder jumped an electric fence to get into the property.
Amor said neighbours reported hearing the intruder yelling on the Pacific Coast Highway that runs along the coastline of Malibu.
The neighbours said they believe the intruder is a homeless man.
Several sheriff’s vehicles were seen parked outside the home, as investigators placed evidence markers at the scene and spoke with possible witnesses, ABC 7 reports.
Kerr, 33, bought the property in 2014 following her divorce from Orlando Bloom.
She was photographed at the “1960s ranch home” for the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar.
“I knew that this house was it at first sight,” she told the magazine.
“It needed a lot of work, but it had a great view. It wasn’t right on the water, so it was protected and very private.”
She shared images from the photoshoot on Instagram.
