YouTube megastar PewDiePie’s house was ransacked by burglars — who stole “90 per cent” of his wife’s valuables, according to his spouse.

Marzia Kjellberg, who lives with the vlogger in Brighton, England, took to social media over the weekend to discuss the alleged burglary, Business Insider reported.

“Our house was broken into and they took 90% of my valuables, from my jewellery, to luxury goods, and special items I’ve been collecting over the years. It’s all gone,” she wrote in an Instagram story.

She said she was in “shock” over her belongings being swiped from the home.

“I know it is very materialistic, and should be happy with what I was left/have,” she wrote. “But I can’t hide the shock and sadness with all being taken away, just like that.”

PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, hasn’t posted about the alleged home invasion to any of his social media platforms, including YouTube, where has more than 100 million subscribers.

The controversial influencer is one of YouTube’s highest-paid stars despite coming under fire for posting several videos featuring anti-Semitic jokes.

He married Marzia in a London ceremony in August.
