Goldie Hawn Reveals She and Kurt Russell Experienced 2 Home Invasions in 4 Months

Goldie Hawn is looking back at a terrifying experience.
While the Private Benjamin actress and longtime partner Kurt Russell have since traded Los Angeles for the California desert, she revealed that before they moved, they experienced a home invasion twice in the same year. And that's why she wouldn't call herself a massive fan of the city.
"L.A. is terrible," Hawn told Kelly Ripa on the June 11 episode of the TV host's Let's Talk Off Camera podcast. "I mean, we were robbed once."
"We went to have dinner together and we were gone maybe two hours and 20 minutes or something. We came back and then went in the house," she continued, "I went up the stairs and I walked into my closet and I just lost it."
She went on to detail what it was like seeing her space ransacked.
"They had broken in from the balcony to our bedroom, our closets," the Death Becomes Her star said, "and they completely knocked down my door, which is a safe door, so they are very, very sophisticated. They got a lot of my goodies, if you know what I mean. So I'm thinking, 'Oh my God, well the chances are, I guess that's it, it's gotta be, the odds are, that's not going to happen again.'"
But Hawn said four months later, it did—and it happened while the 78-year-old was home.
"I'm in the house by myself with the dog and I hear this big thump upstairs," she said. "I was alone. Kurt wasn't there. And I went, 'What the hell was that? Was that a sonic boom? Did somebody jump somewhere?' And as it turned out the next day, we discovered that they were trying to get in my bedroom, while I was in the house."
And the experience fundamentally altered how she feels about being home alone. These days, she noted, Hawn is "never without a guard," adding, "especially when I'm alone."
While multiple outlets previously reported that a Los Angeles property owned by Hawn and Russell was burglarized in 2019, this marks the first time any of them have spoken about a second incident.
But since saying goodbye to L.A., she and Russell—who share kids Oliver Hudson, Kate Hudson, and Wyatt Russell—appear to have made a house they bought in Palm Desert two decades ago their primary residence. As for what attracts her to her Coachella Valley abode? In short, it's "so safe."
"I love my house. I love it. I created a new swimming pool that looks sort of like a lagoon and I can float around it," she said. "It feels a little bit sad in a way, because I'm guilty, I'm always guilty, because I think I have so much and there's so many people who have so little. But it does give me peace and that's one of the things that I think we all need, is that sense of peace."
She continued, "We're so happy there. We actually thought, what if we couldn't live in L.A., where would we live? And we both decided, 'I think it's Palm Desert.'"
Hawn, who has owned several properties in Los Angeles with Russell over the years as well as a vacation home in Colorado, also noted that several of her kids—including Kate—live nearby. As she gushed, "I've got Katie down the street."
