Ferrera moves home over security fears

America Ferrera has moved out of her Hollywood home amid fears that she may become a victim of stalking.

Network bosses ordered the Ugly Betty actress to find a property with better security after deciding that it was too easy for fans to access her apartment.

Contactmusic quotes Ferrera as saying: "There was a security issue. I was living in an apartment in Hollywood where the windows faced the street. I always left them open because there was an air-conditioning unit hooked up to the outside. I was told that was probably not such a good idea. Anyone could look straight into the apartment, so I decided it was time to move.

"I try to keep as low key as I can, and be safe as I go about my daily routine. Luckily it takes a lot to shake me up."
