Ellen DeGeneres and the Portia de Rossi mansion looted while inside

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have been forced to tighten the security of the mansion after being robbed inside the property.

The 62-year-old talk show host and his wife, the 47-year-old actress, were unaware that their mansion in the Montecito neighborhood of Santa Barbara, California, was looted on July 4.

But now the women have taken steps to increase their personal protection after the thieves managed to get in and out of the property without being noticed.

TMZ reports that the jewels were stolen from the palatial house, although the value of the stolen items has not been disclosed.

The news website also stated: “Fortunately, they were not harmed” during the incident.

CCTV failed to register any burglar or burglar who entered the home, but initial investigations have suggested that criminals entered the property through a back door.

TMZ reports: “Our sources say they made a series of security improvements immediately after the robbery, including hiring a new security company, installing laser sensors and cameras throughout the property, and hiring armed patrol guards. “

Ellen and Portia bought the 8,188-square-foot Balinese-style house in early 2019 for $ 27 million.

Ellen has also been hosting her self-titled talk show from the comfort of her living room in the midst of the pandemic.

Other celebrities living in Montecito include Ashton Kutcher and his wife Mila Kunis, as well as Oprah Winfrey.

Oprah is actually Ellen’s next-door neighbor, and she owns a 42-acre property known as the Promised Land.

The couple has spoken many times about being neighbor to each other.

Speaking on The Ellen Show, Ellen told Oprah: “I always talk about this, that we are neighbors in Santa Barbara. But now we are really neighbors, now we are so close that we have a fence line. I am going to make a hole in your fence “
