Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell Say Goodbye to Los Angeles Amid Rising Crime Concerns

Hollywood power couple Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have officially announced their departure from Los Angeles, citing growing concerns over safety and a rise in high-profile break-ins across the city.
In a candid conversation on Kelly Ripa’s podcast “Let’s Talk Off Camera,” Hawn opened up about the frightening experiences that pushed them to reconsider their future in LA.
“We had to start looking at safer places like Palm Desert,” Hawn shared, revealing that burglars had broken into their home—twice in just four months—even smashing through a secured door to steal valuables.
Too Much to Ignore
Despite trying to move forward after the first incident, the couple endured another break-in months later, leaving Hawn feeling constantly on edge.
“I was agitated and tense all the time,” she admitted, describing the emotional toll these events took on her peace of mind.
The couple’s decision reflects a larger trend among celebrities in 2024, as stars like Corinna Kopf and King Bach also fell victim to a string of alarming burglaries across Los Angeles.
A Difficult Goodbye
Hawn and Russell ultimately chose to prioritize their safety and sense of peace over the glamour of LA’s lifestyle.
“The charm of the city no longer outweighs the danger,” Hawn said, signaling a shift in how even Hollywood’s biggest names are rethinking where they call home.
As the couple plans their next chapter in Palm Desert, their story echoes a growing sentiment among many Angelinos: safety is no longer guaranteed, even behind locked gates.
