Why did authorities raid The Exorcist star Linda Blair’s home? Here's the reason
Authorities inspected Linda Blair’s Southern California property as part of an investigation into the number and care of rescue dogs housed at the actress’s residence.
Authorities searched the Los Angeles home of Linda Blair, the iconic star of The Exorcist, on Friday amid an investigation into the number of rescue dogs residing on the property. Law-enforcement officials and representatives from various county agencies, including Animal Control, the zoning department, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, conducted the inspection to determine compliance with local regulations regarding animal housing.
Blair had previously been authorized to house around 60 dogs on the premises, but investigators reportedly discovered more than 100 dogs, with some estimates reaching as high as 200. The inspection aimed to assess the welfare of the animals and ensure the property adhered to county guidelines. Around 70 personnel from multiple agencies arrived at the residence early Friday morning.
Blair was cooperative during the process and no dogs were removed from the property. Blair later commented on the incident, emphasizing that safety measures were in place and the situation was primarily paperwork-related. The investigation into the animal-rescue setup is ongoing.
