Three unknown armed men broke in and robbed singer Chris Brown's Tarzana residence Wednesday while the star was hosting a pre-ESPY Awards party at a Hollywood club. Brown returned home to see law enforcement investigating his ransacked home.
According to reports from TMZ , the robbers forced their entry into the house and, finding Brown's aunt home alone, pointed a gun on her head and locked her inside a bedroom closet while they helped themselves around the house.

The men turned rooms upside down and fled with money and other property even before police reached the scene of the crime after the aunt was able to call 911, the website added.
In a report by Los Angeles Times, the three unidentified robbers wore ski masks as they entered the residential area. Brown's aunt allegedly heard noises and got up to be confronted by the men at her bedroom door.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed no one was hurt during the incident. Brown's aunt, though shaken by what happened, was unharmed.
Aerial footages of the area shot by KTLA 5 reveal Brown's estate sitting at a hilltop secluded from nearby residences. The footage showed Brown arriving home after the scene at around 4:00 a.m. The home was said to be equipped with security cameras, but it still remains unconfirmed if the cameras caught the break in.
Two months ago in May, another one of Brown's residences made the news after allegedly being broken into by a female stalker.
Reports by KTLA 5 say police found the 21-year-old Amira Kodcia Ayeb inside the house wrapped only in bath towels. The girl was charged with one count each of stalking, vandalism, and residential burglary to which she pled not guilty, the network reported. This time, it was apparently three black men that invaded Brown's residence.
