The Los Angeles Police Department is not investigating Brad Pitt for child abuse, nor has any allegation been made against the actor, Sgt. Barry Montgomery told The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday morning.

Multiple outlets were reporting Pitt allegedly was recently verbally and physically abuse toward at least one of his children and that is among the reasons why Angelina Jolie isseeking a divorce. Police tell THR those reports are not accurate.

"We have no criminal investigation that we are actively pursuing," Montgomery said. "To my knowledge, [Pitt talking to police] never happened. And right now, that is where our office is. We are not investigating any case, nor do we have any allegations against Mr. Pitt. We understand how rumors get spun up and hopefully we can put a few of them to rest. We have no investigation involving Mr. Pitt."

L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services could not confirm nor deny it was involved with an allegation involving Pitt.

"We have very strict confidentially laws that don't allow us to confirm or deny the subjects of our investigation," spokeswoman Amara Saurez told THR. She added that the department's media team did not confirm any investigation reports to any news outlets.

Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt, citing irreconcilable differences. The news was first reported Tuesday morning.

The Hollywood power couple has been married a little more than two years. The Associated Press reported Jolie's attorney, Robert Offer, said Jolie filed for dissolution of the marriage, with a decision made "for the health of the family."

Pitt said in a statement to People: "I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."
