Burglars broke into the Los Angeles home of Tracee Ellis Ross over the weekend, stealing more than $100,000 in luxury items, according to a source close to the actor.
The burglars broke through a glass door early Sunday and took jewelry and handbags, according to the source.
Ross, 52, who is known for lead roles in television shows such as “black-ish” and “Girlfriends,” was out of town at the time of the burglary.
LAPD were called to the home of Dodgers star Yoshinobu Yamamoto after a man jumped the fence and tried to break into his Hollywood Hills home.
The Los Angeles Police Department could not immediately provide details on the break-in, but the department told NBC4 that three burglars broke into the home and that staff members reported it to the authorities.
Police told the station that they obtained footage from a home security camera and that the investigation is ongoing.
Ross, the daughter of Motown legend Diana Ross and Robert Ellis Silberstein, has won nine NAACP Image Awards throughout her acting career, as well as a Golden Globe Award for best actress in a television series musical or comedy for her role on “black-ish.”
The break-in comes three weeks after four people were arrested in a series of burglaries that took place across Los Angeles, some of which targeted celebrities such as Brad Pitt.
Four people were arrested in a string of recent home break-ins that targeted upscale homes, one of which belonged to Brad Pitt, law enforcement sources said.
Pitt’s home in Los Feliz was broken into June 25 while the movie star was away promoting his film “F1: The Movie.” Police said three burglars scaled a fence and broke into the actor’s home through a window.
In July, an intruder attempted to break into the home of the Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto while the star pitcher was away with the team playing against the Cincinnati Reds.
