A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to The Post that a break-in occurred around 10:30pm on Wednesday at a house in the Los Feliz neighbourhood. The spokesman did not disclose who the homeowner is or who lives at the residence.

However, they did confirm that three suspects ransacked the house and made off with an unknown amount of property. TMZ later released photos outside Pitt’s home, showing repairmen outside the residence.

Sources claimed the suspects climbed over the actor’s home fence and broke in through the front window.

A spokesman on Pitt’s team declined to comment.

The break-in comes on the heels of the star promoting his new action movie F1, where he plays Formula 1 driver Sonny Hayes.

Pitt was at the London premiere on Tuesday with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon. He also reunited on the red carpet with his former co-star Tom Cruise for the first time since 2001.

The last time the Hollywood vets walked a carpet together was at the America: A Tribute to Heroes benefit concert in the early aughts.

Pitt and Cruise, 62, famously starred in the 1994 horror film Interview with the Vampire.

The Top Gun star took to social media to share a slew of pictures from the night out.

Cruise captioned his Instagram carousel, “Great night at the movies with my friends!! You guys crushed it!!”

As to whether the duo will ever work together again, Pitt joked to E! News earlier this month, “I’m not gonna hang my ass off airplanes.”

Cruise is known for his epic stunts, but according to the Bullet Train alum, he’ll team up with the actor only “when he does something again that’s on the ground.”

Although, while filming Interview With the Vampire, Cruise and Pitt had their fun.

“We did have our go-kart back in the ’90s,” Pitt recalled. “He got me in the end, I gotta admit.”

When the outlet shared how Cruise was urging fans to go see Pitt’s new film, the star replied, He’s so sweet. He’s sweet.”

While Cruise is known for hanging out of airplanes, he couldn’t help but praise Pitt for his skills behind the wheel.

“Brad’s got a new movie, with Jerry Bruckheimer, Joe Kosinski,” Cruise said while at CinemaCon 2025 in April. “I can’t wait to see that this summer. It’ll be awesome.”

“It’s great to see Brad driving,” he added. “He’s very good. He’s a very good driver. Believe me, I’ve raced against him. When we were doing Interview With the Vampire we’d go and race go-karts. We’d literally finish and go drive go-karts all night.”

Bruckheimer, 81, and Kosinski, 51, collaborated with Pitt on F1 and with Cruise on “Top Gun: Maverick.”

In May, the director took a moment to reflect on working with the two while speaking with GQ magazine.

“Tom always pushes it to the limit, but at the same time is super capable and very skilled,” Kosinski explained. “They both have the natural talent for driving. But yeah, I could see Tom maybe scaring us a little bit more.”

He also revealed that Pitt and Cruise were set to reunite for his version of Ford v Ferrari, but the studio didn’t approve the budget. Instead, James Mangold directed the 2019 sports film which starred Christian Bale and Matt Damon.
