Paris Hilton Robbed

An estimated $2 million worth of jewelry and other belongings was stolen from the home of Paris Hilton, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

LAPD Officer April Harding says a security guard reported a forced entry at 5 a.m. at 3300 Clarendon in Sherman Oaks and the guard described the burglar as a man in a hooded sweatshirt and gloves.

The robbery occurred overnight at Hilton's Hollywood Hills home. The burglar or burglars got into the house through an unlocked door, according to LAPD sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.

Detectives from the LAPD's Van Nuys division were at the home this morning conducting interviews. The sources told The Times that Hilton was not home at the time of the burglary and that the house is equipped with security video equipment.

It remains unclear whether this case is connected to last year's series of serial burglaries that targeted celebrities in the Westside.

Hilton recently told Esquire magazine about her home: "The best thing I've ever bought with money is my house. Having a nightclub in your house really helps for having a party."
