Goldie Hawn is sharing details about how she and Kurt Russell were “robbed once” — before a second attempt just months later.

On the newest episode of Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, Hawn, 78, revealed that she and Russell, 73, had gone out to dinner for a couple hours, only to find their belongings ransacked once Hawn went up to bed.

“I walked into my closet and I just lost it,” said the Overboard actress. “They had broken in from the balcony to our bedroom, our closets.”

“And they completely knocked down my door, which is a safe door, so they’re very, very sophisticated, and they got a lot of my goodies,” she went on.

Hawn said that after the incident, she felt that “the odds are that’s not gonna happen again” — but she was almost proven wrong just four months later, this time when she was alone in the house.

“I hear this big thump upstairs — and I was alone; Kurt wasn’t there — and I went, ‘What the hell was that?’ ” she told host Kelly Ripa. “It was just like, was that a sonic boom? Did somebody jump somewhere? And as it turned out, the next day, we discovered that they were trying to get in my bedroom while I was in the house.”

After confirming to Ripa, 53, that the situation was a terrifying one, Hawn went on to she she has “had a guard” with her as of late, “especially when I’m alone.”

“I’m never without a guard,” she added.

Hawn has also not been without longtime love Russell for more than four decades, and recently opened up about how his dedication to being “a family man” was part of what made her know he was the right partner for her.

“It wasn’t just because he was sexy and handsome and all of those things you get turned on by; it was because he matched my devotion to children to be No. 1,” she recalled on SiriusXM’s Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend‘s April 15 episode. “The seduction was really his personality and his focus on the children.”

She remembered that when she was going through her divorce (from ex Bill Hudson), she wrote in her diary, ” ‘I wonder if I’ll ever find someone that will love my children the way I do.’ ”

“And it happened,” Hawn added.
