Tarek and Heather El Moussa felt “violated” after a suspect broke into their Southern California home while they were away on vacation.
The reality stars’ Newport Beach home was broken into earlier this week as the couple vacationed with their family in Mexico.
Authorities responded to reports of a residential burglary near the Mariners Community after 6 p.m. on June 8, officials confirmed to Fox News Digital.
“While the victim was away, unknown suspects accessed the backyard of the property and shattered a rear sliding glass door to get into the house,” officials told Fox News Digital.
“Inside the residence, the suspects ransacked the primary bedroom closet before fleeing through the backyard, along the side of the house and out the front yard.”
The house-flipping specialists reported jewelry stolen from the residence.
Officers believe the home invasion occurred between the earlier hours of June 6 and into June 8.
The Newport Beach Police Department does not currently have a suspect identified in the case.
Representatives for Tarek and Heather didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The couple responded to the incident on social media Tuesday.
“Disgusted by some of the cruel heartless people in this world,” Heather wrote on Instagram stories while tagging her husband.
“Tarek and I feel violated and to be honest really sad. Taking a break for a few days and will back to explain soon.”
She added, “We are safe & the kids are safe.”
The couple welcomed son Tristan in January 2023. Tarek was previously married to fellow HGTV star Christina Haack for seven years before their divorce was finalized in 2018.
They co-parent two children — daughter Taylor and son Brayden — and starred together after their divorce in HGTV’s “The Flip Off.”
