Los Angeles police say about $50,000 (Dh183,000) in gold and cash has been stolen from the Hollywood Hills home of a Grammy-winning songwriter and producer who has worked with Beyonce and other well-known performers.
Toby Gad tells KABC-TV that his wife discovered on Monday that a safe in the home had been broken into.
He says the neighbourhood has seen a string of recent burglaries.
Investigators say gold coins, cash and other undisclosed items were taken from the house, which is being renovated.
Police have not named a suspect.
Besides Beyonce, Gad has written and produced hit songs for Madonna and Robin Thicke. He co-wrote the multi-platinum John Legend smash All of Me.
