Austin Butler becomes latest celebrity victim of Los Angeles home burglaries
On Monday, the Oscar-nominated actor's security team discovered that a glass door in his home had been shattered, law enforcement sources told TMZ. Upon entering the house, a security guard found the place had been ransacked, according to the report.
Several items were reported missing, including a gun and cash, TMZ sources said. When authorities responded to the residence, they did not find any suspects, and no arrests have been made so far. The investigation remains ongoing, according to TMZ, which reports that the Elvis star, 33, was out of the country during the incident.
The Independent has contacted Butler's representative for further comment.
The rising Hollywood star, best known for his roles in Baz Luhrmann 's 2022 Elvis Presley biopic, Dune: Part Two, Sex and the City 's prequel series, The Carrie Diaries, and 2023 crime-thriller The Bikeriders, is just the latest celebrity to have his L.A. home burglarized.
In February, French soccer star Olivier Giroud had $500,000 worth of valuables stolen from his L.A. home. At the time, TMZ Sports reported that the striker's wife called the Los Angeles Police Department after finding a smashed window on their property. The stolen items included jewelry and more than 10 watches, according to the outlet.
Meanwhile, last summer, ABC News reported that more than a dozen home break-ins had been reported in the San Fernando Valley. That August, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson's L.A. guest home, which is located next to the couple's main home, was burgled. The couple were away during the incident.
Other celebrities who've faced similar home break-ins include Bhad Bhabie, Sarah Hyland, and Marlon Wayans.

And Just Like That holdout Kim Cattrall shares cryptic post after the Sex And The City sequel is canceled
Kim Cattrall shared a post on Friday that fans took to be a veiled response to the cancellation of HBO's And Just Like That. The Sex And The City sequel was reported to have gotten the ax earlier this week after three seasons, though the show will end with an expanded two-part finale that was tacked onto the original 10-episode season order. Cattrall, 68, didn't mention And Just Like That, but simply posted a photo of a gorgeous sunset and wispy clouds hanging over mountains across a body of water. 'It's the end of a very long week ❤️💋,' she wrote cryptically. Cattrall had been a major holdout and had refused to appear on And Just Like That, unlike the rest of the original Sex And The City quartet, though she did agree to make two brief cameos in the sequel series' final two seasons. Despite the lack of a direct connection to And Just Like That, many fans in the comments believed Cattrall was celebrating the end of the series.

Actor Gary Busey pleads guilty to sexual offence at horror convention
Actor Gary Busey has pleaded guilty to a sexual offence stemming from an appearance at a 2022 horror convention in New Jersey, according to his representatives and court records. The 81-year-old Buddy Holly star's manager, Ron Sampson, said in an email on Friday that the actor admitted to touching a woman's buttocks 'over clothing during an 8-10 second photo op'. Busey entered a guilty plea to a single count of criminal sexual contact during a virtual hearing in state court in Camden on Thursday. The actor had been accused of inappropriately touching at least three women at the Monster-Mania Convention at the Doubletree Hotel in Cherry Hill, a South Jersey town and suburb of Philadelphia. Organisers of the event acknowledged at the time that an unnamed celebrity guest was 'removed from the convention and instructed not to return' and that affected attendees were encouraged to contact police. Busey had been scheduled as a featured guest for all three days of the event. He was initially charged with two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, one count of attempted criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment. Busey's lawyer Blair Zwillman confirmed on Friday that the other charges were dropped as part of a plea deal reached with prosecutors. The actor faces up to five years' probation and fines when he is sentenced September 18. 'In my view Mr Busey was 'overcharged' probably based on his star status,' Mr Zwillman said in an email. 'He could have just as easily been charged with the disorderly persons offence of harassment by 'offensive touching'.' Camden County prosecutors did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on Friday. Busey is widely known as a character actor, largely in supporting roles, though he came to attention and was nominated for an Oscar for best actor for playing the title role in the 1978 film The Buddy Holly Story.
