Brad Pitt Expands His Real Estate Portfolio In Hollywood After Home Invasion

Brad Pitt is making another big move in the property market, snapping up a $12 million Hollywood Hills mansion from The Killers guitarist Dave Keuning.

The purchase comes just a month after he boosted security at his $5.5 million Los Feliz home, which was targeted in a break-in during a wave of upscale burglaries in Los Angeles.

Brad Pitt's newest real estate addition marks a fresh chapter in his ever-growing Hollywood property portfolio.

The Spanish-style estate sits in the Outpost Estates neighborhood and features sweeping views of Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean. Inside, the new home includes six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, giving him plenty of space in his latest high-profile purchase.

Keuning and his wife, Emilie, had initially listed the home for $13.99 million in June, but Pitt was able to close the deal for less. The purchase was finalized on August 5.

The Daily Mail pointed out that the purchase comes just two months after Pitt's $5.5 million Los Feliz home was burglarized. The actor has a history of buying and selling significant properties in the area, including the $33 million Los Feliz mansion he sold to Aileen Getty in 2023.

Pitt's latest real estate purchase comes with all the high-end touches you would expect from a Hollywood Hills property. The 8,385-square-foot home, built in 1989, features a kitchen outfitted with modern appliances, marble countertops, and a matching backsplash.

A large center island anchors the space, which flows directly into an open living room for easy entertaining. Upstairs, a spacious balcony overlooks the backyard, where an outdoor swimming pool takes center stage.

The space also includes a built-in barbecue and kitchen area, along with a comfortable lounge setup for relaxing in the California sun. The home's front entrance is reached by a brick pathway, leading inside to wooden floors, arched ceilings, and a hallway that opens to the living room and fireplace. 

Pitt's latest property buy comes just months after his Los Feliz home was hit in a late-night burglary. The Blast reported that the 61-year-old's estate became one of several high-profile targets in a wave of upscale home invasions across Los Angeles earlier this summer. 

Law enforcement confirmed the break-in took place in the Los Feliz neighborhood, and sources close to the case identified the property as Pitt's. Police say three suspects scaled a front fence at around 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25, and got inside through a front window.

The intruders reportedly ransacked the home and took an undisclosed amount of miscellaneous items. The total loss and the value of what was stolen remain unclear.

The Hollywood icon is not taking any more chances after his Los Feliz home was broken into. The Blast noted that while the LAPD continues to investigate, the star has brought in round-the-clock guards to protect his property.

A source revealed that Pitt's security used to be present only when he was home, but now guards are stationed there at all times. While the cost of nonstop protection can be steep, the insider quipped that the father of six has "enough cash" to cover it.

The same person explained that the break-in was made easier by the home's minimal barriers. Locals had reportedly voiced concerns over the lack of a strong fence or hedge, making the property more accessible.

Pitt is facing a heartbreaking blow, seeing as his mother Jane, affectionately called "Grammy," reportedly died at 84 without seeing any of his six children for nearly a decade. 

Per The Blast, sources close to him say the separation was agonizing, with much of the blame directed at Angelina Jolie. One person disclosed that Jolie's decision to keep the children away from their grandparents was "gut-wrenching," adding, "It's one thing if she wants no contact, but what about the kids?"

Friends say Pitt is devastated that his children missed out on years with their grandmother and now fears his father, Bill Pitt, could face the same isolation. "Hopefully, this is a wake-up call. Life is too short and too precious," an insider said.
