An intruder has been shot and a security guard stabbed during an altercation at Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr's US home.
According to TMZ, the intruder jumped the fence at the model's Malibu home on Friday morning.
The intruder reportedly stabbed the security guard in the eye, prompting the guard to fire multiple shots. At least one of the shots struck the intruder in the head.
It is understood Kerr, who flew into LAX on October 5 after attending Paris Fashion Week and was last spotted leaving the Malibu property on Sunday, was not at home at the time.
TMZ is reporting both the intruder and the security guard are expected to survive after being taken to hospital.
A tweet from the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department indicates the security guard was airlifted to hospital following the incident.
