Actress Goldie Hawn weighed in on the pervasiveness of crime in Los Angeles, revealing that her own home has been burglarized twice in four months.
The 78-year-old made the comments during an appearance on the SiriusXM podcast “Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa.”
“What if we couldn’t live in L.A, where would we live? We both decided, I think it’s Palm Desert (California). … It’s so safe,” Hawn told Ripa of herself and Kurt Russell, her longtime boyfriend of four decades.
“It’s just because L.A. is terrible. I mean, we were robbed once,” she added.
Hawn went on to describe what happened the first time her home was burglarized. She said she and Russell were out of the house for just two hours before coming back home to discover what happened.
“We came back and went in the house. I went up to the stairs and I walked into my closet. I just lost it,” Hawn said. “They had broken in from the balcony to our bedroom, our closets.”
She continued, “And they completely knocked down my door, which is a safe door, so they’re very, very sophisticated, and they got a lot of my goodies, if you know what I mean.”
The Academy Award-winning actress said she assumed it was something she would only experience once, but that wasn’t the case. “So, I’m thinking, ‘Oh, my God, so the chances are, I guess that’s it,'” Hawn told Ripa. “It’s gotta be. The odds are that’s not gonna happen again.”
But then, four months later, that’s exactly what happened. The actress said she was home alone with her dog when she heard a noise.
“I hear this big thump upstairs — and I was alone; Kurt wasn’t there — and I went, ‘What the hell was that?'” she explained.
“It was just like, was that a sonic boom? Did somebody jump somewhere? And as it turned out, the next day, we discovered that they were trying to get in my bedroom while I was in the house.”
“That’s terrifying,” Ripa replied.
“I couldn’t believe it. What is happening here?” Hawn said, adding that she has had additional protection since the incidents. “I’ve had a guard, especially when I’m alone now,” Hawn said. “I’m never without a guard. We have a nice relationship with our guard.”
I guess it's time to pony up the additional cost and go full-up wired systems... where the wires aren't easily accessible as in all those old heist movies.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I have no idea what she means.
Btw, these make believe play actors are not too sharp. The LA
area was terrible and dangerous decades ago.
They are Republicans......................
Goldie, did you vote for it? Well, don’t complain if you did. Do you support the party that does not enforce laws. but goes after a former president on trumped up charges? Shut up, sit down, and enjoy the suck.
What makes you think that? They have been republican voters for a long time. They also contribute generously to conservative causes.
Wasn’t the “sock it to me girl” Gilda Radner, but I never watched ‘’Laugh-In.’’
They are Republicans...................
“Let dem touch do’es tings...”
Dirty underwear??!
Oh, I remember Judy Carne: she had her on show ‘’Love on a Rooftop.’’ But that may have been before ‘’Laugh-In.’’
She shared dozens of photos from their luxurious Los Angeles home on Instagram, practically providing a map for any would-be burglars.
Her Wiki says....Carne supported Barry Goldwater in the 1964 United States presidential election.
...then (like many in the 60's) the drugs took over...???
It was really wise of Goldie Hawn to publicly announce
where she may be moving to. I'm sure would be professional
burglars weren't paying any attention.
And Goldie, have you been voting Democrat
these past few years?
Kurt Russell is a long-time Libertarian, a right-leaning Libertarian who believes in limited government and is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. He doesn’t do political talk shows because he doesn’t want to seem like a political blowhard.
I’m against this.
That shouldn’t really be a problem in America, besides, seeing the the layout of the home on TV shouldn’t make much difference to serious burglars, homes are pretty easy to figure out once you enter.
As a Southern California plumber to homes like theirs I didn’t need anyone at home to figure out where everything was and go to every room in the house, including the M/bdrm and its closet if needed.
I would definitely be planning a relocation.
