If she wasn’t in any danger, one might wonder why the Los Angeles authorities suddenly increased their presence at Aniston’s residence.

Here are all the available details regarding the much-discussed swatting incident with Jennifer Aniston.

What happened at Jennifer Aniston’s LA house?

On a Friday night, the actor famous for “Friends” received an unexpected visit from law enforcement officers. It seems that they had traveled there to investigate following a worrisome phone call they received from an anonymous man about the actress.

According to TMZ’s report, an anonymous caller contacted the Los Angeles police on September 20, expressing concern about a friend who was not in good health. The caller chose not to disclose the identity of their friend but instead mentioned that their friend “wasn’t doing well.” They then provided the LAPD with Jennifer Aniston’s address.

Without realizing it was a prank related to swatting, officials arrived at Jennifer Aniston’s home shortly after a call was made. Upon their arrival, they were met by security personnel at the entrance, who were taken aback by the officers’ unexpected presence. It wasn’t until they spoke with the guards that the officers figured out they had come to Aniston’s house. They then chatted briefly with the seasoned actress and confirmed her safety.

Later on, The Independent was informed by the LAPD about an incident involving Jennifer Aniston, which they confirmed as a “swatting incident,” triggered by a false emergency call. This unfortunate event makes her the latest celebrity to fall victim to a swatting prank, joining the ranks of Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Nicki Minaj who have experienced similar incidents.

At the time of writing, the LA officials have yet to uncover the identity of the hoax caller.
