While you would think that security teams and high-tech cameras would ward burglars off celebrity homes, the opposite is true.
Whether they were being stalked, targeted by the infamous Bling Ring group, or just the unfortunate home of a random hit, celebs get robbed more often than you’d think.

Sean Combs, better known as P. Diddy, had a rough start to 2021 when his Los Angeles home was broken into in January.
The burglar pried open a side door and entered his Toluca Lake home.
Luckily, the rapper’s security alarm went off. This must have scared away the robbers, as no belongings were stolen.
The rapper had been absent from the home at the time.
This was actually the home that Diddy owned with his late love, Kim Porter .
3. Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay is just one of many celebs who was targeted by a group of thieves called the Bling Ring. They were a group of teenagers who broke into several celebrities’ homes.
Surveillance cameras captured the break-in in Lindsay’s home and were able to link the teens to other robberies in the area.

The O.C. star has a bad track record of being robbed by the Bling Ring. She’s been hit five times!

14. Charlie Hunnam
The Sons of Anarchy star is just as protective of his turf off-screen as he is on.
During an appearance on Conan in 2013 , he revealed that burglars tried to break into his house not once, but twice.
The first time, he used a baseball bat to ward them off.
“So we got business [expletive]” Hunnam yelled at the burglar. When the thief casually turned to leave, he yelled at them to run.
The second time, he armed himself with things like a machete knife. Takeaway: don’t mess with Charlie!
