LOS ANGELES — Two people have been found stabbed to death inside the Brentwood home of legendary director Rob Reiner in an incident that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to The Post.
Officers were called to the home Sunday afternoon, where they discovered a man and woman with stab wounds, according to cops and sources.
It’s currently unclear who the victims are, but the Los Angeles Fire Department told NBC Los Angeles that a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were found dead inside the home.
The ages match those of Reiner and his wife, Michele.
The LAFD paramedics rushed to the home around 3:30 p.m. Shortly after, officers with the LAPD responded to the home following reports of an “ambulance death investigation,” the outlet reported.
Detectives from LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division were also at the scene, a spokesperson for the department said. A knife is believed to have been used in the attack, sources said.
Officers had the street blocked off in front of Reiner’s house, and detectives could be seen going in and out of the residence.
The Post reporters at the scene observed Reiner’s home decked out in holiday decor. It’s in a posh high-end Brentwood neighborhood with homes protected by large hedges and gates.

Reiner is the father of two sons, Jake and Nick. Nick has been open about his issues battling drug addiction and homelessness in the past, “I was homeless in Maine. I was homeless in New Jersey. I was homeless in Texas I spent nights on the street. I spent weeks on the street. It was not fun,” he told People in an interview in 2016.
Reiner, 78, is best known for directing a slew of classic ’80s and ’90s hit films, including “When Harry Met Sally,” “The Princess Bride,” “Spinal Tap” and “A Few Good Men.”
He first rose to fame for his role as Mike “Meathead” Stivic on the CBS sitcom “All in the Family,” which landed him two Emmy Awards.
