A security breach at Kim Kardashian’s Hidden Hills property ended with a 27-year-old man in custody Sunday, but exactly how far he made it onto the estate is already disputed. Law enforcement says the suspect burglarized the property while it was undergoing renovations. Sources close to Kardashian insist he never entered the house at all.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department was called to the gated community shortly before 4 p.m. on August 9. Authorities said a man had been seen putting items into a vehicle at Kardashian’s property, where no one was living at the time. Kardashian and her children have been staying elsewhere while work is being completed on the home.
According to TMZ’s law enforcement sources, the suspect forced his way through a door and removed property from inside. He is also accused of taking a vehicle belonging to one of Kardashian’s staff members and driving it around the neighborhood. A security guard reportedly spotted the vehicle and followed it back to the estate before deputies were called.

Disputing Police Accounts
Kardashian’s camp disputes a key part of that account. Sources close to her say the man never made it inside the residence and that none of her personal belongings are currently being kept there. That leaves some uncertainty over what authorities say they saw being loaded into the vehicle and where those items came from.
Deputies eventually surrounded the property and arrested the suspect without further incident. He was booked on suspicion of burglary. No one was injured, and authorities said they did not find a weapon on him. Still, this incident adds to a history of security problems surrounding Kardashian’s Hidden Hills residence. In 2022, another man made it through the community’s gated entrance before security stopped him near her home. Deputies said at the time that the man had previously appeared on surveillance footage connected to the property. Hidden Hills later increased security measures following several unwanted visits involving members of the Kardashian family.
