Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have stepped up security around their California home after gunshots were fired nearby.

The couple's bodyguards are believed to be on "high alert" after a security truck parked outside the property in Los Feliz was hit by gunfire from a passing car at around 4am on November 27. A Range Rover used by a local resident was also struck.

One bodyguard told Life & Style magazine: "I'm doing fine, but I don't want to talk about this."

Pitt's spokesperson denied that the couple and their four children were the intended targets of the shots. However, a neighbour said: "You can tell their security guys are on high alert right now."
