According to the outlet, the couple was not home at the time. TMZ reported that the burglars gained access through a bedroom window. Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli's Los Angeles home was reportedly burglarized.

A representative for Loughlin confirmed to Insider that a break-in occurred on January 3 while Loughlin, 57, and Giannulli, 58, were not home. A housekeeper reportedly discovered the incident.

Police told the TMZ they reviewed surveillance footage and noted that the burglars wore masks and all-black clothing. The burglars gained access to the home by smashing a bedroom window and discovered Loughlin's jewelry box and stole $1 million in jewelry, according to law enforcement who spoke with the outlet.

Law enforcement says it's unclear if the couple was specifically targeted or if their house was chosen at random, according to TMZ. However, police told TMZ that a South American burglary crew might be to blame. Police believe the thieves travel to America, execute burglaries, then flee the country.

The police investigation is ongoing, TMZ reports.

News of the burglary comes the same week that Loughlin's "Full House" costar Bob Saget died. The actor was discovered in his Orlando, Florida, hotel room on January 9.

Loughlin recently shared a touching tribute to Saget and attended his funeral on Friday.

"Words cannot begin to express how devastated I am," Loughlin said in a statement to Hollywood Life. "Bob was more than my friend; he was my family. I will miss his kind heart and quick wit. Thank you for a lifetime of wonderful memories and laughter. I love you, Bobby."

The thieves knew what they were looking for and went straight for it. If they did not have excess coverage on the contents of the home they are screwed.
