Late Monday night, the peaceful neighbourhood of Studio City was shattered when masked intruders forced their way into the home of Sandra Levin mother of music producer Benny Blanco and mother-in-law of singer Selena Gomez triggering a frightening episode that has shaken the family and their community.

According to police, three men dressed in dark clothes and masks entered the two-story house just after 9:15 p.m. by smashing a sliding glass door. With Sandra at home alone, the sound of shattering glass prompted her to sprint upstairs and lock herself in a bathroom, where she dialed 911. Moments later she reportedly heard the intruders kicking at the door. When she dared to peek out, they caught sight of her and fled.

By the time officers arrived, the burglars were gone. Authorities found the shattered glass door, signs of forced entry, and evidence that several rooms had been ransacked with some items stolen, though the full extent of the losses has not yet been disclosed.

The ordeal has left Levin shaken but physically unharmed. In public statements, the Los Angeles police confirmed that no injuries were reported and that the suspects remain at large. Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and canvassing the neighbourhood for witnesses and leads.

This home invasion comes just two months after Blanco and Gomez’s widely publicized wedding. The family’s elevated profile may have heightened public attention but police have not commented on any indication that the crime was connected to their celebrity status.

Friends, fans and neighbours have expressed concern and solidarity since the incident’s news broke. For the family, the scare has served as a harsh reminder of vulnerability even behind locked doors and has reportedly prompted them to review security arrangements.

As the investigation continues, local authorities are urging anyone with information especially residents who may have seen suspicious activity around Studio City on Monday night to come forward. Meanwhile, the family is regrouping privately, thankful that the worst-case scenario was avoided.
