Burglar targets Hilton's LA home

Paris Hilton's Los Angeles home was broken into.

A man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and gloves broke into the hotel heiress' home in the Hollywood Hills at around 5am, and reportedly made off with around US 2 million dollars worth of jewellery and other items, according to the Los Angeles Times.

"At around 5 am Friday (December 19), officers received a call from a security guard who reported that Paris Hilton's residence had been broken into," LAPD spokesperson Julianne Sohn said to media outlets including the Associated Press and People.

"According to detectives, a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and gloves forced entry through the front door, ransacked her bedroom, took unknown property and fled."

Paris was not at home during the incident, added Julianne. Her spokesperson wasn't available for comment. An investigation is ongoing.
