TV host Morgan Stewart says burglars have hit her Beverly Hills home twice in recent months, stripping the place of rare handbags and a collection of her husband’s watches. The repeat invasions, she told listeners, pushed her into a full security overhaul and left her wondering how safe even heavily protected homes in the neighborhood really are.
On her podcast, Stewart described watching security footage of people hauling off multiple designer bags and casually tossing them over her gate. “Two days later, my house got ransacked,” she said. According to the episode transcript of The Morgan Stewart Show, intruders smashed an office door, went through the bedroom, and took off before police arrived.
How Stewart Says The Hits Unfolded
Stewart said she had just brought a Hermès Birkin home from France when burglars made off with it, and that some display boxes were left untouched while thieves zeroed in on other high‑value pieces. New York Post reported similar details from the interview and quoted Stewart saying she felt forced to “fortify her property like Fort Knox,” a sign of how rattled celebrity victims can become after repeat hits.
Not An Isolated Problem For Stars
High‑profile break‑ins have become a familiar script in Beverly Hills and beyond. NBC Los Angeles and other outlets reported that Real Housewives stars Kathy Hilton and Sutton Stracke had their homes burglarized while they were out of town in November 2025, a reminder that celebrity properties remain prime targets. Coverage of those and other cases has kept the issue in the headlines and stoked anxiety among wealthy Angelenos.
What The Numbers Say
That spike in fear sits alongside statewide data that tells a more complicated story. The California Department of Justice reported that property crime fell in 2024 after pandemic‑era spikes, a trend highlighted in the governor’s summary of the official report. The broader decline, however, does not blunt the impact on repeat victims or the appeal of high‑end goods to organized thieves. The Governor's Office / Crime in California breakdown lays out the annual figures.
Stewart's Response And The Local Picture
Stewart told listeners she has since layered on cameras, alarms and stricter guard coverage, yet she still questions how much any system can deter determined burglars. She described the lingering shock of having her home violated and called the experience “awful,” according to the podcast transcript, adding that she found the police response and recovery efforts less than ideal. The Morgan Stewart Show episode captures her full account.
Across Beverly Hills and other wealthy Los Angeles enclaves, the string of celebrity break‑ins is pushing homeowners to pour more money into private security even as official numbers point to a partial easing of property crime. The result is a jittery mix of upgraded alarms, legal questions about repeat victimization and residents glued to their security feeds, hoping they are not next on the list.
