Kathy Hilton is opening up about the frightening burglary at her home last month.
“They came in, broke the glass and it was raining, and our security guy was down at the guest house,” The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 66, told Extra at The Hollywood Reporter’s 2025 Women in Entertainment Gala on Wednesday, December 3.
Kathy revealed that husband Rick Hilton, who was home when the burglary occurred, heard the sound of the glass breaking and “got a shotgun out.” When three people broke into the master bedroom, Rick, 70, told them, “Get the f*** out of here. The police are on their way,” Kathy recalled.
The reality TV personality continued, “Then our [security] guy came up, they met, they ran out and then [Rick] started shooting the gun out of his office in the air.”
Kathy, who had been attending BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas when the break-in happened, said her and Rick’s home has been on high security ever since.
“If you touch anything … Carol came in today, and the whole house went off,” she said.
Kathy also said that Rick is doing “good” after the incident.
Kathy and Rick’s home was broken into on the night of November 15, TMZ reported at the time. However, it’s unclear if anything was taken in the burglary.
Fellow RHOBH star Sutton Stracke’s home was also burglarized earlier that day. Stracke’s dog walker called 911 around 11:54 a.m. on November 15 to inform a dispatcher about an open window, according to records obtained by Us Weekly. Police arrived at the scene and took a report.
“On the morning of Saturday, November 15, I was notified by the Los Angeles Police Department that my residence had been the target of a home invasion earlier that day. The individuals involved entered through a kitchen window and stole all of my luxury handbags. They also took my fine jewelry,” Stracke, 54, told Us in a statement. “Since, I have hired a 24 hour armed security team and replaced the existing property surveillance systems. I am cooperating fully with authorities as they continue their investigation.”
Kathy and Rick, who are the parents of Paris and Nicky Hilton, broke their silence on the burglary at their home while speaking to paparazzi at LAX airport on November 21, according to Daily Mail.
“By the time [the intruders] got up, it was raining. Our security was checking a leak,” Kathy said. “And so he came up and they all met up, and they ran.”
Rick added that the “police are on top of” the investigation into the incident.
The couple also confirmed that they kept a gun in the house.
“Just as long as everybody’s safe, that’s it,” Kathy said.
The break-ins at the Hiltons’ and Stracke’s homes come months after RHOBH alum Teddi Mellencamp revealed that her home with estranged husband Edwin Arroyave had been targeted by attempted burglars.
“We are grateful that everyone is unharmed,” Mellencamp, 44, and Arroyave, 48, said in a joint statement to Us in July. “While we are shaken, we are fortunate to have the latest in home security systems, which scared off the intruders. Authorities were alerted and swiftly responded. We appreciate everyone’s heightened concern in light of recent criminal activities in our area, but we are safe.”
Mellencamp later denied that the crime had any connection to robberies at the homes of other Real Housewives stars.
“People are like, ‘Oh, you’re just like So-and-So and So-and-So, who used to be on Housewives.’ I’m like, ‘We weren’t robbed,’” she said on her “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast. “Somebody attempted to come into our home. Who knows what would have happened?”
