Police Respond to Multiple Celebrity Home Alarm Incidents in Los Angeles

Police responded to Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross's Encino home after a burglary alarm was triggered early Monday morning, though neither Simpson nor Ross called authorities themselves. After a thorough sweep and review of security footage, law enforcement found no signs of forced entry or attempted burglary and concluded the incident was likely a false alarm or that any suspects had already fled. The scare comes amid a recent crime wave targeting celebrity homes in Los Angeles, including high-profile incidents involving Teddi Mellencamp and the tragic double homicide of 'American Idol' executive Robin Kaye and her husband. The LAPD has increased patrols and surveillance in the West San Fernando Valley, responding to public concern and criticism over the spate of burglaries and violent crime. Simpson and Ross, who have lived in their $5 million residence since 2020, are among several celebrities who have faced these security threats. Authorities continue to investigate and bolster safety measures in the neighborhood.
