Love Island star Davide Sanclimenti has opened up about the recent burglary that happened at his new home in Los Angeles.

The reality TV personality recently moved to Los Angeles, but his new life there got off to a rough start when thieves made off with $1.2 million worth of his property.

"I'm still in shock – it's so sad to see stuff like this still happening in today's world," Sanclimenti told The Standard.

"I was finally happy, living my life, restarting in the USA, doing well at work, being surrounded by good people, and being robbed in my own home was the last thing I needed. The initial reaction was 'f**k, f**k, f**k, I lost everything,' but my mind couldn't accept it or believe that it was happening."

He went on to explain that he managed to track one of the stolen items using an airtag, but is letting the authorities the room to try and sort things out.

He said: "I went to the location personally, sitting in the car until 4am with a friend, and saw weird movements that I cannot talk about. But LAPD is doing their investigations."

Sanclimenti added that he believes the burglary is "an insider job", saying: "We had appointments booked to secure the new house in the coming week, but I guess the burglars were quicker than me."

"At the end of the day, material things can be replaced. The good thing is that we are safe, no one was physically hurt," he concluded.

"I try to stay positive mainly in two ways. One, we are safe, alive, and healthy. And two, it’s all material goods – we all lose material goods sooner or later, nothing and no one is eternal."

Love Island airs on ITV2 and streams on ITVX.
