Update #2. According to ABC News, the dress was found in a bathroom two days after it was stolen from her hotel room in West Hollywood.
The West Hollywood Sherriff’s Department received a call Friday afternoon from a “media source saying they received an anonymous call that the dress was in a restroom in the second floor of the London Hotel” where the actress was staying, Lt. Michael White said.
Hotel staff searched and found the dress in a bag hidden behind a counter in the bathroom. We believe this is the dress stolen from the hotel.
There are no suspects. Officials are reviewing surveillance video. The bathroom, which is being renovated, is accessible by both staff and visitors.
