On Friday, April 17, 2026, at around 1:30 a.m., actor Dylan Sprouse confronted someone who was trying to break into his Hollywood Hills home. This happened after reports of an attempted burglary at his Los Angeles home. Police say that the 33-year-old former Suite Life of Zack & Cody star tackled the trespasser on his property and held him at gunpoint until they got there.
Around 12:30 a.m., Sprouse’s wife, supermodel Barbara Palvin, called 911 to report a possible break-in at the couple’s estate. While emergency services were on their way, Sprouse is said to have confronted the suspect, wrestled him to the ground, and held him there on the front lawn until LAPD officers arrived and took him into custody.
The Los Angeles Police Department said they went to Sprouse’s Hollywood Hills home because someone was trespassing and possibly stealing. However, they would not give any more information about the suspect. There are pictures and short videos of the scene online that show police arresting a man and Sprouse talking to police right after the fight. The event has led to a lot of talk about gun safety and home security for celebrities in Los Angeles’s most famous neighborhoods.
