Halle Berry has an intruder at her home

Actress Halle Berry is having a troublesome week as she had to call the police twice in a row after spotting an intruder at her Los Angeles home.

The 44-year-old informed the police about the trespasser but by the time the officials arrived he had already disappeared.

This was the second time that something of this sort took place, as on Saturday emergency services were called after an unknown person climbed over the wall and was spotted on her front lawn.

Berry's security team and others ran outside, but the intruder again had disappeared.

Initial reports suggested it could have been a paparazzi photographer trying to get a picture of the star. "There is absolutely no way it was a paparazzi.

The crew that works with Halle are professional photographers. Halle, Gabriel and her current boyfriend Olivier Martinez all know those guys. They wouldn't do anything stupid like hop over the fence," a source said.

Berry is not the only celebrity to have had trouble with trespassers recently, as a man was arrested outside Paris Hilton's Malibu home last week for violating a restraining order forbidding him to be within 200 yards of her.
