Hollywood veteran Will Smith may need to beef up the security detail for him and his family, given the appearance of another unwanted guest.

The "Bad Boys" star recently became the second member of the Pinkett-Smith family to suffer from a home invasion this year. A man allegedly broke into his L.A. area home, leading to a face-off with Will's guards.

According to law enforcers, the L.A. County Sheriff's Department deputies were alerted of a strange man lurking near Will's gate last Wednesday.

They responded twice to the alerts in the actor's L.A. area home, with the first noting the suspicious man was asking for someone who doesn't live there.

Before deputies arrived, Will's guards had successfully escorted the man off the property. However, their joy didn't last long as the trespasser returned and somehow managed to access the ground without the security's knowledge.

Fortunately, the entertainer's guards acted quickly and subdued the trespasser before he could reach Will's home. Then, they alerted authorities, who arrested and booked the man on a misdemeanor charge, per TMZ.

The home invader, per authorities, was a 37-year-old man identified as Robert Ogden. He was locked up without bail as cops believed he would return to Will's home; therefore, they couldn't let him go before seeing a judge.

Will was reportedly not at home when the incident occurred — a grace his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, didn't have three months ago. As stated, Will is the second member of the famous family to have unwanted visitors, with his wife being the first.

In February, two men allegedly broke into Jada's property and climbed onto her balcony. The actress was home at the time and surprisingly managed to scare off the intruders.

Will and Jada's home invasions happened on different properties, given that the couple lived apart. The "Red Table Talk" host broke the bombshell news in 2023, claiming the pair separated nearly a decade ago.

Despite their unconventional relationship, Will and Jada remain a powerful duo with two amazing children and a fantastic real estate collection. They bought their first house together following their wedding in 1977.

According to Architectural Digest, the Bryn Mawr property was a sprawling 8,000-square-foot home that cost $937,500. Aerial shots show the house, which included a sparkling outdoor pool and a full-size sports court, was equipped with various luxuries.

In 1998, Will and Jada reportedly spent $700,000 on a 2,165-square-foot property near Philadelphia. They went bigger in the early 2000s by shelling $3.4 million on a Hidden Hills mansion, then $42 million for a 150-acre compound in Calabasas.

This spacious adobe-style property served as the duo's primary residence, and they repeatedly renovated it over the years. Jada once gushed about the stunning residence in an interview, saying:

"For Will and me, this home was always a spiritual endeavor. We're very earthy, organic people. We wanted to create a family retreat, something made by hand and as natural as possible, something that ties back to the land."

Last November, The Blast reported that Jada made a powerful declaration about her marriage to Will. The mother of two claimed the couple would be "together forever" despite claiming they have been separated since 2016.

In the interview, Jada explained the couple had promised that nothing would ever end their marriage. Because of this vow, the duo continue to push through their differences, with the actress saying:

"We will work through whatever. And I just haven't been able to break that promise."

Will echoed similar sentiments in a different interview, claiming, "There's no deal breakers. There's nothing she could do—ever—nothing that would break our relationship. She has my support till death, and it feels so good to get to that space."
