Kidnapping, shooting report at Miley Cyrus home a hoax, LAPD says
Los Angeles police surrounded the Studio City home of singer and actress Miley Cyrus on Wednesday evening after a reported kidnapping and shooting that turned out to be a hoax.
Officers responded to the home in the 11000 block of Amanda Drive about 6:50 p.m., said Officer Karen Rayner of the Los Angeles Police Department. The 911 caller had reported a home invasion, several suspects and hostages.
A short time later, the call was determined to be a fake, Rayner said.
Authorities were actively looking for the caller Thursday and said the report might have been made from a cellphone.
