Title: Will Smith Faces Security Breach at His Los Angeles Home
Security Breach at Will Smith’s Los Angeles Home
Hollywood’s A-lister Will Smith underwent two security breaches at his Los Angeles residence last Wednesday. A 37-year-old man named Robert Ogden tried to gain unauthorized entry on both occasions, as reported by TMZ. Smith’s security team immediately responded after Ogden was spotted lurking near the gate earlier in the day, prompting his departure upon being confronted by a security guard.
Attempted Intrusion by Robert Ogden
Later that afternoon, Ogden returned and breached the perimeter gate, only to be apprehended by Smith’s security personnel before reaching the main house. Law enforcement stepped in this time and arrested Ogden on a misdemeanor charge, holding him without bail pending a judicial review due to concerns over a potential repeat attempt.
Family Safety Concerns
Fortunately, the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” was not present during both incidents, and he has chosen to remain silent on the matter. However, the Smith family has faced multiple unwanted visitors this year, underscoring the ongoing security challenges faced by celebrities residing in high-profile areas.
Security Incidents Involving Jada Pinkett Smith
Jada Pinkett Smith, Smith’s estranged wife, has also encountered security threats. In February, two individuals reportedly attempted to climb onto the balcony of a property where she was staying, but she was able to frighten them away. Despite their separation since 2016, the couple has not pursued a divorce and continues to navigate their complex relationship in the public eye.
Investment in Real Estate
Since tying the knot in 1997, Jada and Will have amassed a significant real estate portfolio. Their property acquisitions include an $937,500, 8,000-square-foot house in Bryn Mawr, a $700,000, 2,165-square-foot home near Philadelphia, a $3.4 million mansion in Hidden Hills, and a $42 million, 150-acre estate in Calabasas that has undergone multiple renovations over the years.
Additionally, the couple owns two Kauai properties—a $14.5 million beach house and a $10 million residence above Secret Beach. In 2021, they added an $11.3 million mansion in Hidden Hills to their impressive collection. Jada once described their Calabasas estate as a “spiritual endeavor” that exemplifies their connection to nature and their desire for a handcrafted family retreat.
