Adding to the string of celebrity burglaries this year, Sarah Hyland’s Los Angeles home became the latest target of a frightening intrusion—made even scarier by the fact that she saw the hooded burglars in action.
The Modern Family star’s LA residence was burglarized on Saturday, and it wasn’t even nightfall yet, police sources told TMZ. The break-in occurred while it was still daylight, according to officials.
Fortunately, Hyland was not at home during the incident, as she was out of town. Despite her absence, she witnessed the break-in when her home security system alerted her to the presence of masked individuals on her property.
The suspects reportedly entered Hyland’s home by smashing a glass window, triggering the security system. Although Sarah was away, she quickly contacted the police after seeing surveillance footage on her phone showing two masked men leaving through her front door.
By the time law enforcement arrived, the burglars had already fled. Sources told the outlet that the house was silent by the time officers showed up. No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.
As police await Hyland’s return, it remains unclear whether anything valuable was stolen. Sarah will need to conduct an inventory to determine if any items are missing. She joins a growing list of LA celebrities, including Marlon Wayans and Bhad Bhabie, who have been victims of similar burglaries this year.
The Modern Family alum bought her Los Angeles home before marrying The Bachelorette contestant Wells Adams. She reportedly spent $3.92 million on the modern farmhouse property in Studio City, California.
The two-story mansion, built in 2018, features five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, and spans 5,872 square feet. According to Architectural Digest, the home boasts modern amenities, including a theatre with stadium seating and midnight blue walls, a pristine blue pool with an inset spa, a unique dining room with an ebony hardwood ceiling, and state-of-the-art lighting fixtures.
Hyland’s home is equipped with smart technology, allowing her to control lighting, sound systems, and security cameras remotely—likely how she managed to catch the burglars on camera, even from afar.
