Last night, Kim Kardashian West was reportedly robbed of nearly $10 million (US dollars) in jewelry at a Parisian hotel. The assailants, dressed as police officers, were escorted to her room by a concierge, where they proceeded to tie the star up at gunpoint, snatch her jewelry, and escape on bicycles. When Kanye West got the news while performing at a New York concert, he abruptly ended his performance, leaving the crowd in confusion.

Brexit expert, actress and one of my first childhood crushes Lindsay Lohan was, like Hilton, also caught in a Bling Ring heist—this time back in 2009—and lost around $130,000 of clothes and jewelry from her home because of it. One of the Bling Ring's main members, Alexis Neiers, was actually in the same cell block as Lohan during the actresses time in jail, although they reportedly never spoke to each other. Rod Stewart
In 1982, Rod Stewart actually had to help a dude steal his Porsche when the guy couldn't start the car properly, but said that he was only concerned with the safety of his three-year-old daughter, who was with him at the time. The car cost $50,000. Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus—ie. the millennial generation condensed into a tiny human being—has had her home burglarized three times—once for jewelry, once for a Maserati, and just last year with what has only been described as a "bundle" of her and her brother's property by TMZ. She wasn't home on any of these occasions, but I'd recommend that she personally pays Billy Ray to start guarding the home with the help of fellow washed-up white celebrity dads Kid Rock and Steven Seagal.
