Break-In Reported at Anthony Anderson’s Encino Home

Los Angeles, CA — Authorities are investigating a break-in at the Encino home of actor Anthony Anderson, which occurred late Sunday night. According to law enforcement sources, three individuals broke into Anderson’s primary residence around 11 p.m. on May 18. It remains unclear whether any items were stolen during the incident, and no injuries have been reported.

Anderson, best known for his starring roles in Black-ish and Law & Order, was not at home at the time of the break-in. He was attending a fundraiser for his foundation in Palm Springs, which supports students at his alma mater, Howard University. The actor confirmed to local media that the residence targeted was his main home.

The Los Angeles Police Department responded to the scene after receiving a report of the break-in. As of Monday, no arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing. Authorities have not disclosed whether anyone was inside the home during the incident, nor have they confirmed if any property was taken.

This incident is the latest in a series of burglaries targeting celebrity homes in the Los Angeles area. Law enforcement officials note that burglary crews often target large, expensive homes, sometimes unaware of the homeowner’s identity, but the likelihood is high that such homes belong to celebrities in the city. In recent years, other high-profile figures including Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Tom Hanks, and Rita Wilson have also experienced similar break-ins.

Anderson has not released a public statement beyond confirming the break-in. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the case to contact the LAPD’s Valley Bureau.

The investigation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
