Jojo Siwa shared footage of her home in California's San Fernando Valley being ransacked by masked burglars in the early hours of Monday morning.

Police headed to the property after being alerted by the alarm company, a LAPD department spokesperson said, but the suspects had fled the scene before the officers arrived.

No one was home at the time of the robbery, police also said.

The 19-year-old TV star, who shot to fame as a child star on Dance Moms, posted 'terrifying' security footage of the suspects on Snapchat, writing, "This makes me sick to watch."

Siwa had moved into the Los Angeles mansion, which is in the suburb of Tarzana, in back in December 2019 with her family.

She described the incident as an 'armed robbery', although that has not been confirmed by the LAPD.

Cops are said to have found an open door at the property, which they believed was what they used to get into the house.

According to CBS, property was stolen, however, specific items have not been released.

But Siwa has assured fans that the damage is 'materialistic'.

She said: "My family and pups are safe. Most important thing to me."

She later took to Snapchat the day after the robbery to give her millions of followers an update on the situation.

The Dancing With The Stars alumni wrote, "We were robbed last night at 2:40(ish)AM... It was an armed robbery which is very scary.... But the good news.... No one was hurt, all our puppies are good, there is lots of materialistic damage, but that can all be fixed."

She also recalled a 'REALLLLLY long night on the phone with my security, family and LAPD'.

"And then I couldn't fall back asleep after. Was about 2 hours on the phone, then lots more just laying there thinking," she added.

In another post, she asks her fans to 'do her a favour' and 'hug your people extra tight' as life is 'scary'.

She has reassured fans that her family and pets are safe.

This is not the first crime committed against Siwa since she moved into her LA home, as she became a victim of 'swatting' in early 2021.

'Swatting' is when false information is reported to law enforcement resulting in emergency responders being falsely summoned to a location. It has been a crime in California since 2015.

Dozens of police officers were sent to Siwa's house after a false report was filed.

She said that she was forced to leave her Los Angeles home with her arms in the air, as armed police surrounded the building.

The incident occurred after Siwa had came out as LGBTQ+ online.
