Paris Hilton’s Sherman Oaks home in the San Fernando Valley has been robbed of $2 million worth of jewelery and other belongings.
According to police, a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and gloves forced open the front door of the house in the early hours of the morning and made off with Miss Hilton’s belongings.
The heiress wasn’t in the house at the time, and according to the security guard who reported the burglary to the police, the robber "ransacked" Paris’ bedroom.
In 2004, Paris and Nicky Hilton's Hollywood Hills home was robbed; Paris reported then that the burglar made a clean sweep and left with all of her cash and valuables. And last year alone, over 70 celebrities reported break-ins and thefts at their Los Angeles-area homes. One of the houses hit during that unfortunate string of burglaries included that of Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.
