Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky’s Home Is Broken Into, Masked Intruders Steal 3 Cars: Report
Australian actors Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky were targets of a break-in at their Byron Bay area home, with four masked intruders reportedly stealing three vehicles before authorities recovered them hours later. Pataky was at the property when the incident began in the early hours of November 11, and she only learned of the break after reviewing security footage the next day. NSW police described the entry as four unknowns entering the estate, scaling the fence, and taking cars with keys inside, with no injuries reported. The couple, who moved back to Australia in 2015 to raise their family, are cooperating with investigators as inquiries continue and the stolen vehicles are traced. No further details were provided on suspects or motive, and the outcome of the investigation remains pending.

The incident occurred at Hemsworth and Pataky’s estate in Broken Head, south of Byron Bay, with 7News citing the report on early Wednesday, November 11.
Pataky, 50, woke to dogs barking around 2 a.m., then went back to sleep and only realized the break happened after checking security footage the following morning; four men were captured on the footage, wearing balaclavas, and two appeared to carry knives.
Police stated that four unknown people entered the property, stole three vehicles, and left with the keys still inside the cars; no injuries were reported at the scene.
The stolen vehicles were claimed to be a BYD, a Ram, and a Ford Raptor; authorities later confirmed the cars were recovered hours away from the residence as investigations continued.
Hemsworth, 43, and Pataky, who married in 2010, have three children and had relocated from Los Angeles to Australia in 2015 to provide a more relaxed lifestyle for their family.
Us Magazine has reached out to NSW Police and Hemsworth’s representative for comment as investigators pursue leads related to the break-in.
The broader context notes the couple’s ongoing commitment to family life in Australia, with public remarks earlier describing the move as a positive decision for their children.
