A suspect has been taken into custody following reports of an attempted burglary at the childhood home of Billie Eilish in Los Angeles.
Police received a call about a home invasion at around 9.15pm on Thursday night and were at the Highland Park property within minutes, after it was claimed that a man in dark clothing had hopped over a fence.
A suspect was arrested shortly after 9:30pm, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Police were seen in the home looking for evidence in footage aired on local television.
It’s currently unclear whether anything was taken from the property or if someone was home at the time. No injuries have been reported.

In their spare time, the two musicians penned songs together in their bedrooms.

They also had a home studio where they would create music and where some of Billie's most popular songs were recorded.
Back in 2019, Billie and Finneas welcomed CBS Sunday Morning’s Gayle King into their childhood and revealed how their parents slept on a futon in the living room so the siblings could have their own bedroom.
