Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles-Lawson was reportedly a victim of a burglary at her home in Los Angeles, according to law enforcement.

The 69-year-old parent of the 'Crazy in Love' hitmaker allegedly had over $1 million worth of possessions stolen at her California-based estate, as reported by TMZ.

It was alleged that the theft was discovered on Wednesday (July 5) morning after someone from Tina's team saw a safe was missing while visiting the house.

The mother-of-two was apparently out of town during the incident and no further information of how the break-in occurred has been released by police.

Authorities reportedly informed the outlet that a safe containing cash and jewelry was stolen and that they are searching for security footage of the break-in.

They also spoke with people living next door to Tina  - who was Destiny Child's fashion designer - to see if they had witnessed anything suspicious.

This apparently follows another incident reported by TMZ, in which cops arrested a man outside her home back in April after he allegedly caused harm to her mailbox by throwing rocks.

Per the publication, police officers claimed that the suspect was behaving erratically and was placed on a 5150 psych hold - which is when an adult who is experiencing a mental health crisis is involuntarily detained for a 72-hour psychiatric hospitalization.

Tina shares daughters Beyonce and Solange Knowles with her ex-husband Mathew Knowles, 71. The former couple officially split back in 2011. Following the divorce, the businesswoman tied the knot with the 76-year-old actor Richard Lawson - with whom she shares her LA mansion - in 2015.

She has recently been spotted with the Grammy-winning singer and her granddaughter, Blue Ivy, at Jay-Z's mother, Gloria Carter's wedding ceremony in the Tribeca neighborhood in New York City.

The 53-year-old 'Empire State of Mind' rapper's mom tied the knot with her long-term partner Roxanne Wiltshire, and the special day was also attended by celebrity guests like Kelly Rowland, Tyler Perry, and Robin Roberts.

While no pictures have been published of the happy couple on their wedding day, the 'Break My Soul' songstress showed off her wedding guest look on Instagram, sporting a peach-colored gown accessorized with a feathered jacket, a lace purse, and a pair of sunglasses.

Meanwhile, public photos taken of the Carter family on their way to the reception revealed Jay-Z and Beyoncé's 11-year-old daughter donning a sage green silk gown with a chain necklace and a pair of block heels.
