Kanye West has reportedly been the victim of a burglary.

The rapper's Los Angeles home was ransacked by thieves, law enforcement officials have told TMZ.

Kanye was not at the residence at the time because he is currently in England as part of his Watch the Throne tour with Jay-Z.

A member of Kanye's entourage, who was at the luxury mansion, called the Los Angeles Police Department this morning to report the break-in.

It is not yet known what was taken but some of the loot was apparently dropped on the way out.

Meanwhile, a source close to Kanye denied reports earlier that he had posted a naked picture of girlfriend Kim Kardashian on his Twitter page.

It turns out it was an old picture of porn star Amia Miley which was posted on Kanye's page as a hoax.
