Orlando Bloom has been left devastated after losing more than $500,000 (£305,240) worth of jewellery in a raid on his Los Angeles home, says TMZ.

The LAPD has reportedly confirmed that they were called to the Pirates of The Caribbean star's property early this morning, following reports that it had been broken into while he was away working in New York.

His live-in girlfriend, supermodel Miranda Kerr, had been attending an awards ceremony in Hollywood at the time of the burglary.

Law enforcement officials have said that the thieves entered the property through a window and escaped with the expensive jewellery, which included some of his prized vintage watch collection.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the 32-year-old owns more than 40 valuable and rare watches, while news of the theft has been circulated to watch collectors around the world.
