Burglars hit Paris Hilton's home, take $2 million in jewelry
9:12 AM, December 19, 2008
An estimated $2 million worth of jewelry and other belongings was stolen from the home of Paris Hilton, Los Angeles Police Department sources told The Times.
The robbery occurred overnight at Hilton's Hollywood Hills home. The burglar or burglars got into the house through an unlocked door, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.
Detectives from the LAPD's Van Nuys division were at the home this morning conducting interviews. The sources told The Times Hilton was not home at the time of the burglary and that the house is equipped with security video equipment.
It remains unclear whether this case is anyway connected to last year's series of serial burglaries that targeted celebrities in the Westside.
In those cases, the two - and possibly three - men, clad in black and wearing ski masks and gloves, hit more than 70 homes in areas such as Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills and the hills above Encino, usually at night and often on weekends. Among the victims in those burglaries were former Paramount Pictures chief Sherry Lansing and her Oscar-winning director husband, William Friedkin, Clippers basketball star Cuttino Mobley, Duran Duran guitarist John Taylor and his wife, Juicy Couture president Gela Nash-Taylor and country music stars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
Hilton recently told Esquire magazine about her home: "The best thing I've ever bought with money is my house. Having a nightclub in your house really helps for having a party."
