Benny Blanco’s Mother Targeted in Home Invasion in Studio City
A harrowing home invasion unfolded earlier this week at the Studio City, California, residence of Sandra Levin, the mother of music producer Benny Blanco. Authorities confirm Levin was unharmed after two suspects forcibly entered her home while she was alone, triggering a swift police response and an ongoing investigation.
According to reports from ABC7, the incident occurred when burglars smashed through a sliding glass door, gaining entry to the property. Levin, demonstrating remarkable composure under duress, immediately barricaded herself inside a bathroom and contacted emergency services.
“Per procedure, a spokesperson for the LAPD confirmed the address of the incident and the details about the break-in,” a report from Billboard stated, “but did not identify Levin as the homeowner.” Neighbors and property records subsequently verified Levin’s identity as the resident of the targeted home.
Officials detailed that Levin overheard the intruders moving through the house, ascending the stairs, and attempting to open a bedroom door. When she briefly looked out of the bathroom, the suspects reportedly fled after spotting her. Police arrived on the scene around 9:15 p.m., discovering that the suspects had already escaped, having allegedly kicked the bathroom door off its hinges during their hasty retreat.
The intruders reportedly ransacked several rooms before absconding with an as-yet-undisclosed amount of property. It remains unclear whether the suspects were armed, and authorities currently have no description beyond stating they were two men wearing dark clothing and masks.
“The investigation is now in the hands of detectives,” a LAPD spokesperson told Billboard on Wednesday, November 26, adding that “no arrests had been made at press time.”
NBC 4 reported further details of the ordeal, highlighting Levin’s quick thinking in securing herself and alerting authorities. The incident underscores the vulnerability even high-profile families can face, and the importance of rapid response in such situations.
As of Wednesday, November 26, there had been no public statement from Benny Blanco regarding the incident on his social media channels. The LAPD continues to pursue all leads in this ongoing investigation, seeking to identify and apprehend the individuals responsible for this frightening invasion of privacy and security.
