Authorities rushed to Kim Kardashian’s Hidden Hills estate after an alleged intruder broke into the property and took one of her luxury vehicles for a brief joyride through the neighborhood.
Deputies with the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station responded to the home at about 3:45 p.m. Sunday after receiving reports that a suspect had entered the residence and was taking items, law enforcement sources told the California Post.
When deputies arrived, they found a male suspect inside the more than $60 million property and took him into custody on allegations of burglary and vehicle theft.

Investigators said the man had also allegedly taken one of Kardashian’s vehicles and driven it around the area before he was arrested. He was later transported to jail and booked on suspicion of burglary.
“It’s still under investigation, and we’re still in the preliminary stage,” LASD Sgt. Chris Sonderlund said.
Kardashian and her children have reportedly been staying in a nearby rental for several months while renovations continue at the mansion, and it does not appear that she was home or on the property when the break-in occurred.
Kardashian and her ex-husband, Kanye West, purchased the estate in 2014 for $20 million and spent years extensively renovating it before moving in after the work was completed in 2017. Kardashian and the couple’s four children continued living at the home after she and West finalized their divorce in 2022.
