The Los Angeles robberies continue with Brazilian beauty Daniela Braga joining the growing list of celebrity victims.
The Victoria's Secret model became the latest A-lister burglarized recently, with an estimated loss of over $1 million. She addressed the situation on Instagram, lamenting about the unfortunate incident.
Before Daniela Braga, stars like Tom Hanks, Sarah Hyland, Marlon Wayans, Bhad Bhabie, and more had their Los Angeles homes burglarized.

The robbery reportedly occurred last Tuesday when Braga and her husband, Adam Freede, were not at home. Law enforcement sources noted the model came on late that night to discover thieves had made off with a huge haul.
Burglars gained access to Braga's house by smashing a back window before ransacking the place. They escaped with two safes, multiple designer bags, numerous pieces of jewelry, and sentimental items that the model and her husband treasured.
Sources, per TMZ, estimated the media personality lost over $1 million in the incident — a significant sum that would presumably increase with the cleaning bill given the mess the burglars left behind.

Braga shared pictures of the aftermath on her Instagram Story, showing the smashed glass windows and a ransacked closet. Her home was in disarray, with clothes and boxes littered on the floor.
She claimed the thieves took every piece of jewelry in the house, including her engagement ring and wedding band. The sentimental losses didn't end there, as Braga lost her baby's ultrasound pic and the jewelry that once belonged to her mother-in-law.
The Victoria's Secret model noted the culprits tore her closet apart in their search, leaving quite a mess behind. However, the worst part was the feeling of insecurity for her and her husband.
Braga confessed that she and Freede felt violated after the invasion. The couple joins a growing list of L.A.-based celebrity victims, with stars like Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson suffering a break-in earlier this month.
The Victoria's Secret Model Had A Dream Wedding

Braga and her husband, Freede, said their vows in December 2021 in the Dominican Republic. The pair didn't mark the occasion with a single celebration but a week-long festivity amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Brazilian beauty opted for an extended celebration because the virus stopped them from marking their union in Italy, Greece, or France. It also forced them to reduce their guest list, inviting only 75 close friends and relatives to the event.
Their ceremony was centered around a theme of travel for the highlighted missed destinations, with Bragaexplaining they initially wanted to tie the knot in a castle in the south of France. She told Vogue:
"We had a week-long wedding, and we decided to bring a little bit of every country we couldn't go to, so we had a French night, a brunch in Mykonos, a chic ceremony, and a Dominican day full of activities."

Like her around-the-world wedding theme, Braga marked her union with Freede with global fashion. She donned six spectacular dresses during the week-long event, with her main wedding gown designed by the Israeli brand Galia Lahav.
The rest of her custom-made outfits matched her themes during the week, including a sizzling red dress for her Moulin Rouge evening and a summer outfit for her Greek moment.
Braga also donned another Galia Lahav white dress for her wedding reception, a handmade Albina Dyla for her first dance with Freede, and a strapless sparkly number by the Albania designer for the after-party.
Daniela Braga Is Against Bullying

Although she is a celebrated model, Braga's stunning looks didn't always get her the attention it does today. In 2020, she opened up about her dark past in an emotional conversation with students at Burnett Middle School in Seffner.
Braga confessed that it was her first time talking to students about the verbal abuse she endured as a teenager. The Ledger reported the bullying nearly pushed her to suicide, with the model revealing:
"I was always very tall and very skinny, very weird, so that was a target. I had all these bad names like 'Tree' or 'Giraffe.'"
Daniela Braga not only overcame the trauma but chose to help others in similar situations by joining the Lakeland anti-bullying team. She is truly a beauty inside and out.
