Tarek and Heather El Moussa felt “violated” after a suspect broke into their Southern California home while they were away on vacation.
The reality stars’ Newport Beach home was broken into earlier this week while the couple was vacationing with their family in Mexico.
Authorities responded to reports of a residential burglary near the Mariners Community after 1 p.m. 6 p.m. on June 8, officials confirmed to Fox News Digital.
“While the victim was gone, unknown suspects gained access to the backyard of the property and smashed a rear glass door to enter the home,” officials told Fox News Digital.
“Inside the residence, the suspects ransacked the master bedroom closet before fleeing through the back yard, along the side of the house and out the front yard.”
The specialists in house flipping reported jewelry stolen from the home.
Officers believe the home invasion took place between the early hours of June 6th and into June 8th.
The Newport Beach Police Department does not currently have a suspect identified in the case.
Representatives for Tarek and Heather did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The couple responded to the incident on social media on Tuesday.
“Disgusted by some of the cruel heartless people in this world,” Heather wrote on Instagram stories while tagging her husband.
“Tarek and I feel offended and to be honest really upset. Taking a break for a few days and coming back soon to explain.”
She added: “We are safe and the children are safe.”
The couple welcomed son Tristan in January 2023. Tarek was previously married to fellow HGTV star Christina Haack for seven years before their divorce was finalized in 2018.
They are parents to two children – daughter Taylor and son Brayden – and played together after their divorce in HGTV’s “The Flip Off.”
