Brad Pitt is moving ahead with selling his Los Angeles home after a recent burglary disrupted his personal life. Despite facing this incident, Pitt’s professional career continues to thrive in 2025, having released the film F1: The Movie earlier this year. Reports indicate the actor is finalizing the sale of the property he purchased for $5.5 million.
The house, often referred to as The Steel House, was acquired by Pitt in 2019 from Aileen Getty, who had bought it the same year from James Valentine, a member of Maroon 5. This three-bedroom property, dating back to 1960, is currently in escrow as part of an off-market transaction. The home has attracted strong interest, suggesting the sale will conclude soon.
Details of the Break-In During Film Promotion
On June 26, while promoting F1: The Movie, Pitt’s home was targeted by robbers who gained entry by climbing a fence and breaking a window, according to NBC News. The intruders ransacked the property and stole various items, though the exact nature of the theft remains unclear as of August 12. Pitt’s security system helped police identify suspects, leading to the arrest of four individuals believed to be connected to other recent break-ins in the area.
These break-ins have also affected other celebrities, including Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Jennifer Aniston, and sports figures such as Dodgers players Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Max Muncy, Freddie Freeman, as well as Olivier Giroud from LFAC.
Upcoming Projects Keep Pitt’s Career Active
While F1: The Movie remains in theaters, Pitt is already preparing for his next role. He has been cast in the upcoming A24 production The Riders, which will be directed by Edward Berger. Berger, known for his previous film Conclave that earned over $100 million and an Oscar nomination, will begin filming in early 2026 across multiple European locations.
The Riders is based on the 1994 novel by Tim Winton and is expected to attract attention given the talent attached to the project.
