The tragic killing of a celebrated film director and his wife, a renowned photographer and producer, sent shockwaves through the entertainment world.

The couple were found dead in their upscale Brentwood residence on Sunday afternoon after their adult daughter made the devastating discovery. Authorities described the scene as a “horrific double homicide.”

Emergency responders were called to the home on Chadbourne Avenue around 3:40 p.m. after a man in his late 70s and a woman in her late 60s were found unresponsive. Police later confirmed both victims were pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators noted there were no signs of forced entry, and sources indicated the victims appeared to have suffered stab wounds.

During an evening press briefing, LAPD officials declined to share further details, stating that the investigation remains ongoing. Unconfirmed reports suggested the killings may have followed a dispute inside the home.

Neighbors reported seeing several well-known figures from the film industry arrive at the residence later that evening, visibly shaken by the news.

Authorities are treating the case as an apparent homicide and have since arrested the couple’s 32-year-old son in connection with the deaths. He is currently being held on multi-million-dollar bail as the investigation continues.

In a brief statement, a family spokesperson said:
“We are devastated by this unimaginable loss and ask for privacy as we grieve during this incredibly difficult time.”
