Following a series of burglaries targeting high-profile individuals in Los Angeles, pop singer Jessie J has become the most recent celebrity victim – she was recently robbed of more than $20,000 worth of jewelry.

On Thursday, Jessie J, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, had notified the cops earlier that week that her Southern California mansion had been broken into. The robbers broke a back window of the house to enter.

In recent weeks, Cornish has performed a slew of shows across the world, with a role at Manchester Pride in the U.K. in August, as well as a show at Yorkshire Wildfire Park.

While there are no suspects yet, police say the investigation is ongoing. 

Law enforcement officials reported in August that the $26 million cliff-side home of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson in the Pacific Palisades had been robbed over the summer by burglars who broke in through a back window.

Celebrities Sarah Hyland and Bhad Bhabie have also been victims of such robberies.

In July, Hyland reported the robbery after she received an alert from her security camera system that showed two masked men leave her home.

Bhabie’s home was also broken into in July when burglars smashed her back door and stole a variety of handbags and jewelry. Upon their arrival, police spotted a man in a black hoodie running from the house.

Comedian Marlon Wayan’s Los Angeles residence was also robbed in late June. He posted to Instagram in response, “Don’t waste your time. They didn’t really get much because I don’t own s—. I don’t have anything valuable in my house except MY HOUSE. Sorry, I live a simply life.”

Cornish splits her life between the United Kingdom and the United States. She and her longtime partner Chanan Safir Colman welcomed their son Sky last May.
