Johnny Depp is having a hard couple of months, following his controversial legal battle with his now ex-wife Amber Heard, it was just revealed that the actor was targeted in an attempted burglary in Los Angeles over the weekend.

The acclaimed star who owns a lavish mansion in the Hollywood Hills, was believed to be in a different place at the time of the trespassing.

And while the intruder has not been identified, it was reported that it was a woman, setting off the mansion’s security system and quickly escaping when the police were alerted.

There’s not a clear motive for the robbery, or if there was anything taken from Depp’s home, however the thief was later found and arrested, as she had been connected to another recent burglary in LA.

This housebreaking attempt adds to the list of difficult situations the actor has recently endured.

Including the loss of his legal libel against British newspaper   The Sun , after he was described as a “wife beater,” following claims of domestic abuse made by Amber Heard.

Johnny was forced to exit the highly-anticipated movie   Fantastic Beasts , with Warner Brothers announcing his character’s replacement with the actor Mads Mikkelsen.

Most recently, a judge also denied his attempt to dismiss the counterclaims made by the star of   Aquaman , following a self description made in 2018 for the Washington Post, where she claims to be “a public figure representing domestic abuse.”

The former couple continue their battle, launching million dollar lawsuits against each other, with Depp announcing that his “life and career will not be defined by this moment in time.”
