Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples, have announced their decision to leave Los Angeles after two terrifying break-ins at their home. The couple, known for their enduring romance and successful careers, has been shaken by the rising crime rates in the city.
In a candid conversation on Kelly Ripa’s Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast, Hawn revealed the couple’s plans to depart L.A. and shared the harrowing details of the burglaries that made them feel vulnerable in their own home. “The break-ins were terrifying,” Hawn said, describing the first incident, which occurred earlier this year, and the second, more brazen break-in that followed four months later.
The couple’s experience is not an isolated one. In recent months, Los Angeles has seen a surge in high-profile crimes targeting celebrity homes. Social media influencers Corinna Kopf and King Bach have also fallen victim to similar crimes.
According to recent LAPD reports, these crimes are often part of sophisticated operations that target affluent neighborhoods. As a result, many high-profile residents have reevaluated their ties to the city.
After careful consideration, Hawn and Russell have decided to leave L.A. in search of a more peaceful and secure environment. They are considering Palm Desert, a more serene neighborhood that offers the seclusion and tranquility they now seek.
“We’ve loved L.A. for many reasons – the opportunities, the culture, the energy – but the risks have become too great,” Hawn said. “Safety and peace of mind are our top priorities now. It’s time for us to move on.”
This decision marks the end of an era for the Hollywood power couple, who have been staples of the L.A. entertainment industry for years. However, their move is in line with a growing trend of celebrities escaping the challenges of city life.
Fans have taken to social media to offer support and well wishes to the couple as they embark on this new chapter. “Sometimes, you have to make tough choices to protect what matters most,” Hawn said, wrapping up her podcast interview. “For us, that means our family and our sense of security.”
As they prepare to leave the city they have called home for so long, Hawn and Russell are optimistic about starting anew, away from the spotlight, and focusing on their priorities.
