Lionel Richie’s Home Targeted In Attempted Burglary While He Was Inside, Suspect Since Arrested

A man has been arrested in connection with a recent break-in at what multiple outlets have identified as Lionel Richie’s Beverly Hills home.

According to local police, the incident occurred around midnight on Friday (August 22). Officers were dispatched to the scene following reports of a residential burglary. While the department has not officially confirmed the homeowner’s identity, several sources have reported the property belongs to Richie.

TMZ reports that the music legend, best known for timeless hits like “All Night Long” and “Hello,” was home at the time of the attempted break-in. Fortunately, his security system was triggered, reportedly scaring off the intruder before anything was taken.

Authorities later arrested a 38-year-old man on suspicion of residential burglary, just a few blocks from the reported scene.

The investigation is ongoing, and no additional details have been released. Richie’s team has not publicly commented on the incident.
