Los Angeles – Burglars targeted the home of actress Tracee Ellis Ross early Sunday morning, making off with more than $100,000 worth of jewelry and handbags. The break-in occurred at approximately 12:30 a.m., while Ross was out of town on business.
The intruders gained access to the residence by shattering a rear glass door. Upon entering, they quickly searched the home and took numerous valuable items before escaping undetected. Law enforcement officials confirmed that security camera footage has been retrieved, although no arrests have been made in connection with the incident at this time.
Ross is best known for her acclaimed roles in television series such as “Black-ish” and “Girlfriends.” The 52-year-old actress is the daughter of music legend Diana Ross and businessman Robert Ellis Silberstein. Throughout her career, she has received several prestigious awards, including three NAACP Image Awards and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series Musical or Comedy.
This break-in at Ross’s home is part of a disturbing trend that has seen several celebrity residences targeted by thieves in Los Angeles this summer. High-profile figures such as Lionel Richie, Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman, and Keith Urban have also reported similar incidents. Local authorities are noting that these burglaries appear to be well-planned operations rather than random acts, suggesting that the perpetrators may be monitoring the social media activities of these stars to determine when they are away from home.
Investigations into the burglary at Ross’s residence are currently ongoing. Local police are actively working to identify the intruders and encourage anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward. Meanwhile, Ross’s representative has not responded to media inquiries following the break-in.
As the frequency of burglaries involving celebrities raises alarm, public safety experts emphasize the importance of enhanced security measures and vigilance. Residents, particularly high-profile individuals, are urged to consider additional precautions to safeguard their homes and valuables. This includes improving home security systems, installing surveillance cameras, and being mindful of what they share online.
In light of these ongoing incidents, law enforcement officials are also stepping up patrols in neighborhoods known to house many celebrities. Authorities are enhancing their efforts to combat this trend, aiming to provide a sense of security to residents in these affluent areas.
As investigations continue, the community awaits any updates regarding the burglary that struck Tracee Ellis Ross’s home.
