The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley is opening up about the terrifying ordeal she and her children endured last week. As CBSLA reports, on Wednesday, October 27, Kemsley and her two children were sleeping in their Encino, California home when they were robbed.
According to CBSLA, three men broke into the reality star’s home at 10:50 p.m. on the 27th. By the time the men fled the home in a black truck, they were able to grab handbags, jewelry, and watches.
While the investigation remains ongoing, Dorit Kemsley took to her Instagram for the first time since the traumatic incident took place. As she revealed in her statement, she has made the decision to shield her children from the details.
Dorit has been given that privilege after revealing her two children slept through the whole thing. And now she’s independently working through the trauma.

“As you all know by now I have been through a terrifying ordeal, one that no parent or person should ever have to experience,” Dorit began her statement. “I’ve received so many messages of love and support and I thank you all from the bottle of my heart. It’s truly overwhelming. My kids are unaware of what happened, they slept through it and I thank God for keeping my kids and myself from being physically harmed,” she continued.
“My family now needs to start the healing process. I have thrown myself straight back into work as I want our family to return to normality as soon as possible. With the love and support of my husband, my incredible family, friends, fans, and followers, I am confident this is the right thing to do whilst I independently work through the trauma. I’m so grateful to the LAPD for their care and attention. Thank you again for all of your support.”
Sadly, this is not the first time Kemsley has lived through an armed robbery. In September 2018, as CBSLA reports, 13 upscale homes were robbed. One of those 13 homes belonged to Dorit Kemsley. It’s unclear if she was home during that incident as well.
Dorit is a fashion designer who married her husband Paul Kemsley in 2015. The couple shared two young children, Phoenix Kemsley, who is 5 years old, and Jagger Kemsley, who is 7 years old.
In addition to her statement, Dorit Kemsley has shared a video of her daughter, Phoenix with a smile on her face as her brother taught her some basketball tricks. As she stated in her statement, you can get through nearly anything with the right people in your corner.
