Jennifer Aniston's Los Angeles Home Swatted, LAPD Investigating

Jennifer Aniston had one hell of a wake-up call Friday evening … law enforcement tells us the “Friends” star was swatted — a growing prank targeting many in Hollywood.

Law enforcement tells TMZ … someone called the cops and told a dispatcher he was worried about a friend’s well-being — but never mentioned Aniston by name.

Per the cops, the caller said his friend was “not doing well” … and supposedly alluded to seeing him on the other side. We’re told the caller then asked cops to do a welfare check, providing only the address and keeping himself anonymous.

We’re told authorities stopped by the address just after midnight … where they were met by security, who was seriously surprised by their arrival.

It was during this time that police learned they were at Aniston’s home … and cops say they spoke with the actress, who assured them everything was OK and that she had no self-harm intentions.

In an attempt to avoid another incident like this one … police say they’ve since noted the location and, if called again for a welfare check, plan to speak with security first before rolling out and disturbing Aniston’s beauty sleep again.

However, this isn’t a closed case just yet … as we’re told police are treating the call as a swatting and are now investigating the incident further.

Aniston isn’t the first celebrity to fall victim to a swatting prank. Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Justin Bieber and others have all been victims of a hoax call … resulting in a surprise police presence at their respective homes.
