Brad Pitt's $8.4m mansion ‘ransacked' by burglars
Brad Pitt's Los Angeles home was burglarised last week while the actor was travelling abroad to promote his latest movie, as neighbours begin to draw on what may have really happened. A police investigation is underway after the Oscar-winner's $US5.5 million ($A8.4 million) mansion was targeted by thieves, Page Six reports. It is now emerging that Pitt's 'absent security' was to blame for the incident, which left a 'huge mess.' 'Ever since Mr Pitt moved in two years ago, there has always been a security car in the street, day and night,' a neighbour told the Daily Mail. 'It suddenly disappeared a few days before the burglary, but we have no idea why.' At the time, an LAPD spokesperson told the outlet that a house in the Los Feliz neighbourhood was 'ransacked' at 10:30pm on Wednesday evening (local time), though they did not confirm the owner or residents of the property. According to police, three suspects scaled a fence and broke in through a front window before fleeing with an unknown amount of items. Pitt, 61, is on the 'F1' press tour and has hit the red carpet for premieres in London, Mexico, and New York in recent weeks. The 'Oceans Eleven' star purchased the property in April 2023 from oil heiress Aileen Getty, according to Daily Mail. In a star-studded swap, Getty then purchased Pitt's previous home in the same neighbourhood for a whopping $US33 million ($A50.5 million). Dubbed 'The Steel House', the L-shaped estate — is outfitted with solar panels, an expansive outdoor pool and a built-in sauna, among other luxuries. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and just over 2,000 square feet of living space, surrounded by lush greenery. Pitt's ex-wife Angelina Jolie also resides in the Los Feliz neighbourhood where their children are frequently seen stepping out. The home is one of several in the actor's property portfolio; however, it is understood to have served as his home base in Los Angeles, with his other homes located in Carmel and the South of France. Pitt has not yet made a public statement about the burglary. It is not known whether he has since returned to Los Angeles following the extensive promo tour for his new movie.

Brad Pitt reveals alcoholism battle and says he needed to "wake the f*** up"
The Oscar-winning star of films such as Bullet Train, F1: The Movie and Oceans Eleven revealed his efforts to stop boozing on the Armchair Expert podcast on Monday and didn't hold back. Brad Pitt has opened up to reveal his devastating battle with alcoholism and the lengths he went to in order to get sober. The Oscar-winning star of films such as Bullet Train, F1: The Movie and Oceans Eleven revealed his efforts to stop boozing on the Armchair Expert podcast on Monday and didn't hold back. Pitt, 61, says he reached out to everyone he knew for help and finally joined Alcoholics Anonymous despite initial nerves. He said: "I was pretty much on my knees, and I was really open. I was trying anything and everyone. Anything anyone threw at me. It was a difficult time. I needed rebooting.' Speaking about attending his first AA meeting, Pitt admitted he was pretty "shy" a first. "I'm generally a bit shy in any situation at first," the actor admitted. "But I don't know, I just remember getting my arms around it pretty quickly and it became a thing for me. It was really like something I'd look forward to." After a friend "assured" him that the group was a "safe place" Pitt said he felt more comfortable opening up. And at that point in his life, he was ready to do just that. "I am a stubborn f--k, but when I've stepped in s--t, I'm pretty good at taking responsibility for it and owning up to it, and now it's a quest to… what I do with this and how do I right this and make sure this doesn't happen again. So I was really opening to that," the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star shared. Pitt described the experience of attending AA meetings as a positive one. "I just thought it was just incredible men sharing their experiences, their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches, and a lot of humour with it," Pitt said. 'I thought it was a really special experience." Pitt previously opened up about getting sober following his 2016 split from Angelina Jolie. In a 2019 interview with the New York Times, he revealed that the divorce was the wake-up call he needed. "I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privileges," he told NYT at the time. "You had all these men sitting around being open and honest in a way I have never heard. It was this safe space where there was little judgment, and therefore little judgment of yourself." Having recently completed his divorce from Jolie, Pitt is currently dating Ines de Ramon, 32. Us Weekly also reported that Pitt is still estranged from most of his six children with Angelina - Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Sources said that he had 'made several efforts to reconnect with his kids,' but he was only able to regularly spend time with the twins, as they are his only children who are still affected by his and Angelina's custody agreement because they are minors. His relationships with the older four all said to be 'strained'.
