Hollywood star Brad Pitt has taken drastic steps to protect himself and his privacy following a frightening home invasion at one of his properties. The Troy and Bullet Train actor has reportedly purchased a $1 million Spanish-style estate in the Hollywood Hills, equipped with state-of-the-art security features to ensure his peace of mind.
Break-In at Los Feliz Mansion
According to reports, Pitt’s decision comes after his older Los Feliz property, valued at $5.5 million, was broken into by three intruders. The actor was away promoting his latest film at the time of the burglary, but the incident left him shaken.

A source close to the actor told RadarOnline that while Pitt was never one to obsess over safety in the past, the invasion changed everything. “Brad’s never been one to worry, but now even he’s talking about fortifying his walls,” the insider revealed.
A Fortress of Security
The Hollywood icon is reportedly sparing no expense in transforming his new home into a secure sanctuary. Plans for the property include:
- A panic room for emergencies.
- 24/7 round-the-clock security.
- An on-site watchtower.
- Anti-drone technology to prevent aerial intrusions.
One insider explained Pitt’s mindset, saying: “After the break-in, he’s been saying, ‘I want to feel nothing can get in.’”
Another source described the actor as becoming increasingly cautious, noting: “He’s paranoid – every door, every window is suddenly a potential threat. He’s going to be turning the new home into something near impenetrable.”
Jennifer Aniston Shares Similar Fears
Interestingly, Pitt isn’t the only celebrity taking extreme measures for personal safety. His ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, reportedly adopted the same mindset after experiencing a disturbing stalker ordeal earlier this year.

The incident left Aniston shaken, with sources saying she began to view her home as a place that required fortress-level protection. “The incident shook Jennifer to the core. She genuinely began seeing her home as somewhere that needs to be a fortress to keep out all dangers – a place of total privacy,” an insider explained.
According to reports, both Brad and Jennifer have now adopted similar language when discussing their homes, using terms like “fortress, walls, perimeters, security.”
Pitt’s “Peace of Mind Project”
Those close to Pitt say his new estate is more than just another celebrity mansion—it represents a new phase in his life. One insider described the property as “his peace of mind project”, adding: “Now Brad isn’t just buying a house – he’s buying protection, with layers of security and more seclusion.”
With this latest move, Pitt joins a growing list of Hollywood A-listers prioritizing privacy, security, and safety in an era where celebrity homes are increasingly targeted by intruders.
