After officers searched the property, investigators determined there was no evidence of a burglary and took a trespassing report instead, TMZ reported.

The LAPD told ABC 7 that nothing appeared to have been taken from the home.

The investigation remains ongoing.

About 12 hours later, police responded to another call in the nearby Hollywood Hills West neighborhood.

Three suspects broke into a home on the 8500 block of Hedges Way around midnight and beat a resident. They fled before police arrived, according to KTLA.

The trespassing incident at Tarantino's home comes after he confronted burglars at his home in 2018.

The director was at home during that incident, in which he confronted two men who had broken into his home. They fled, but managed to take a stash of his jewelry and other valuables with them.
