Century City-based Creative Artists Agency confirmed that it evacuated its staff from its headquarters on Thursday at around noon, after receiving a security threat.

“While the threat is being investigated for its credibility, out of an abundance of caution, we are closing the Los Angeles offices,” said a note sent to employees.

Pinault family’s investment company, Artémis, will buy a majority stake in Creative Artists Agency, one of the major Hollywood talent agencies.

The agency said the office will reopen on Friday and did not provide any details about the nature of the threat.
