Hollywood was shaken on December 14, 2025, when legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Reiner were found dead in their Brentwood home. The couple was discovered by their daughter, prompting an urgent emergency response and a homicide investigation that unfolded rapidly throughout the day.
Authorities soon focused on their son, Nick Reiner, who was not at the house at the time and was later arrested near the University of Southern California. As the family issued a brief statement asking for privacy, close friends including Billy Crystal and Larry David were seen visiting the home. By nightfall, an arrest had been made, closing a devastating day that left Hollywood and the Reiner family forever changed.
