The 38-year-old victim said she was inside her home on the second floor when she was alerted by a garage alarm leading into the main floor.
Los Angeles police are investigating a break-in at an actor's home.
Officials say the suspect got in through rear unlocked windows and a 4-foot step ladder was recovered at the scene.
It happened just before 9 p.m. Friday at the home on 52nd Street and 9th Avenue in Borough Park.
Police say the thieves got away with $1 million in jewelry, clothes and purses.
Authorities say the suspects broke into the home, took a purse with key fobs inside, and then drove off in two cars parked in the driveway -- all in a matter of seconds.
