The incident occurred a little before 8 pm on Tuesday at Pinkett Smith’s mansion in the Los Angeles area. According to law enforcement sources, two unidentified men wearing hoodies climbed onto Pinkett Smith’s balcony, seemingly scouting the home to burglarize it while believing no one was inside.

However, the intruders got a shocking surprise when their break-in attempt was foiled - by Pinkett Smith herself. Sources say the actress spotted the hooded men from inside the home, causing them to hastily flee the property.

It is unknown whether Pinkett Smith was an intentional target or just the victim of an opportunistic robbery. Pinkett Smith immediately contacted authorities after the break-in attempt. Police units swiftly arrived at the mansion to investigate but were unable to locate the suspects, who had disappeared into the night.

With few leads to follow, the identities of the intruders and their current whereabouts remain a mystery. The only detail available is that both were young males wearing dark hoodies that obscured their faces.

While Pinkett Smith escaped unharmed, the incident has raised concerns that Los Angeles celebrities could be vulnerable to the spate of home invasions targeting the rich and famous over the past year.

Recent high-profile victims include 'Squid Game' actor Lee Byung-hun, actress Lena Waithe, model Abigail Ratchford, and actor Keanu Reeves, who have all had their homes broken into. Valuables worth hundreds of thousands of dollars were stolen in several cases.
