Austin Butler Buys Brad Pitt’s $5.2 Million Los Feliz Mansion—Months After Burglars Targeted the Property

Austin Butler has snapped up Brad Pitt's Los Feliz home—just three months after the "F1" star's dwelling was hit by burglars.

The "Elvis" star, 34, forked over $5.2 million for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home, which he closed on one week ago, according to TMZ.

Pitt, 61, purchased the home in 2023 for $5.5 million, and it acted as his main residence until the shocking burglary.

Butler didn't seem to have any concerns buying the home that was once ransacked by thieves and quickly snapped up the property, which is known as the "steel house" and sprawls across 2,000 square feet.

The property also boasts a resort-style swimming pool, sauna, and floor-to-ceiling windows that allow natural light to flood inside.

In June, police revealed the thieves "made a real mess" of the property, making off with several stolen items.

Pitt, who owns multiple properties across the globe, is understood to have been away from the dwelling when the incident occurred on the evening of June 25, having appeared at the London premiere of his new movie, "F1," on June 23.

Police stated that the burglars accessed the property at around 10:30 p.m., after scaling a fence and then breaking a window, but have not revealed whether Pitt's girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, or any other persons were present when the robbery took place.

Authorities said that they responded to a triggered alarm at the property and discovered evidence of the break-in when they arrived at Pitt's address.

Sources who were "not authorized to discuss the case" told the Los Angeles Times that the thieves appeared to have "gone through [the home] looking for what they could take of value," adding that they made "a real mess" of Pitt's property in the process.

Images taken outside of the dwelling on June 26 showed investigators combing the abode for evidence; however, no other updates have yet been released about whether authorities have any suspects in the case.

The home is one of several in the actor's property portfolio, and it is understood to have served as his home base in Los Angeles, with his other homes located in Carmel and the South of France.

He is understood to have purchased the abode after selling off an extravagant Los Angeles estate that he once shared with his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, and their children for $33 million.

Police are understood to have taken four people—who have not yet been named—into custody on Aug. 7.

However, the break-in marks the latest in a line of celebrity robberies, with multiple A-listers targeted in recent months, including Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, whose $8.4 million Beverly Hills mansion was burglarized on Valentine's Day of this year.

TMZ stated that Kidman and Urban, both 57, were not at their seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom property when it was targeted, adding that "one of their employees" arrived back at the home while the intruder was there and "scared them off."

Days earlier, the home of LAFC soccer star Oliver Giroud was also broken into by thieves who stole an estimated $500,000 worth of jewelry, according to ESPN.

Authorities responded to a 911 call on Feb. 5 made by Giroud's wife, Jennifer, who stated that she had discovered an upstairs window at the home had been broken and that multiple items of value had been stolen.

Then, in May, a man was arrested after driving through the gates of a Bel-Air home owned by Pitt's ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, who is understood to have been present in the property when the incident took place.

Per TMZ, the "Friends" actress was home at the time of the shocking incident, and the man has been identified only as a white male in his 70s.

The Los Angeles Police Department revealed that a security guard on-site held down the elderly man until they arrived.

Multiple high-profile sports stars have also been the victims of break-ins in recent years, including Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and his teammate, Travis Kelce.

On Feb. 18, an unsealed indictment revealed that seven men have been charged in connection with this string of robberies, including three men—Jordan Quiroga Sanchez, 22, Bastian Orellano Morales, 23, and Sergio Ortega Cabello, 38—who were previously arrested in relation to the break-in at Burrow's Ohio home.

The four other men have been identified as Pablo Zuniga Cartes, 24; Ignacio Zuniga Cartes, 20; Alexander Huiaguil Chavez, 24; and Bastian Jimenez Freraut, 27. The case has been filed in Tampa, FL.

Cabello, Chavez, Morales, and Sanchez have already pleaded not guilty to charges they faced in Ohio, which included participating in a criminal gang, engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, obstructing official business, and possession of criminal tools, according to NBC News.
