Linda Blair's California home raided in animal‑kennel investigation

Los Angeles County officials searched actress Linda Blair's Southern California property on July 31, 2026 after a tip that the site housed an unlicensed kennel with more than 100 dogs. The Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control and the Department of Regional Planning obtained an inspection warrant to verify compliance with county codes, noting that the kennel’s permits had expired in 2023.

Blair was present during the early‑morning raid, cooperated with investigators, and no dogs were seized. She later posted on Instagram that “the animals are good in lieu of our surprise visit in 105‑degree heat” and added, “Turns out we just have some paperwork to do and some diagrams.” The agency said the priority was the safety and welfare of the animals and any people on the property. The investigation remains active, with officials confirming the search was not a criminal probe but a compliance check.

Blair, who founded the Linda Blair WorldHeart Foundation, said she plans to relocate to expand her rescue work and complete the required paperwork.
