Most recently, actor Anthony Anderson, star of television’s Black-ish, revealed that he had an alarming experience. The incident began when three men broke into his home in Encino, Los Angeles. The break-in occurred while Anderson was attending a fundraiser organized by the Anthony and Alvina Anderson Charitable Support Foundation in Palm Springs. The gala was intended to benefit students at Howard University, Anderson’s alma mater.
During the fundraiser—which was held on the night of July 14—Anderson learned that his home had been invaded. In an interview with ABC7, Jones recounted his disbelief when he heard about the break-in. “It’s a violation that no one should have to experience,” he stated regarding the incident.
The release adds that Anderson’s representatives declined any further comment to Entertainment Weekly. This ruling has left numerous questions regarding the break-in completely unaddressed. This incident is an obvious manifestation of that trend. Home invasion robberies had been spiking in the wealthy Encino community. Similar attacks have increasingly targeted other high profile individuals. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were victims of a Valentine’s Day burglary this year. While the couple wasn’t home when that panic-inducing event occurred that time, they could have been.
Criminal activity took an alarming rise, and soccer legend Olivier Giroud was one of the last victims in this upsurge. On February 5, mastermind thieves ransacked his home, stealing an estimated $500,000 in goods. This alarming trend of targeting affluent neighborhoods for home invasions is making people like you and celebrities very fearful.
Anderson’s recent public engagements include his attendance at the 2024 FOX Winter Press Day on November 18, 2024, and the world premiere of his new project, ‘G20’, on March 27, 2025. This is the story of how he manages his work obligations despite grappling with traumatic personal events. Yet, the security of his residence is becoming a more urgent issue.
