Johnny Depp’s famous West Hollywood-area property became the scene of another unsettling incident this week after police were called to investigate a reported trespasser at the actor’s home. According to TMZ, LAPD officers responded to Depp’s residence around 4 p.m. Tuesday after receiving a call about a woman allegedly lingering near the front gate of the property. 

The caller reportedly told authorities the suspect had been seen at the home multiple times over the weekend, raising concerns about repeated unwanted activity near the estate.

According to law enforcement sources, LAPD officers responded to Depp’s residence around 4 p.m. Tuesday after receiving a call about a woman allegedly lingering near the front gate of the property.

Sources say the woman was sitting outside the gate at the bottom of the hill leading to Depp’s property and allegedly attempted to leave a message intended for the actor. She was also reportedly seen filming the home before police arrived.

By the time officers reached the scene, however, the suspect had already left the area. No arrests were made, and investigators did not locate the woman during the response.

The incident is nothing new in Los Angeles, where high-profile stars increasingly deal with unwanted visitors, stalkers, and invasions of privacy. Depp, whose personal life has remained under intense public attention for years, has not made any comments.

While it’s unclear whether the woman involved had any direct connection to the actor, authorities were reportedly informed she had appeared near the property several times in recent days. 

Depp’s home is located in a secluded hillside setting with gated privacy. The actor owns several properties. Authorities have not released additional information about the woman’s identity, and no criminal charges have been announced as of now.

In March, a woman accused of firing gunshots at Rihanna’s Beverly Hills mansion was arrested. Authorities took Ivanna Ortiz, 35, into custody after gunfire erupted outside Rihanna’s sprawling property. The singer was inside the home. Police revealed Ortiz accused the pop star of “stealing” from her. Videos show Ortiz delivering rambling accusations portraying Rihanna as an enemy.
