Charles and Watson are being held without bail on charges of first-degree burglary and have pleaded not guilty, per PEOPLE.
When reached by EW, a representative for Pitt declined to comment.
Pitt, 61, was not home during the initial June 25 incident, the LAPD told EW at the time. Officials said the suspects broke in at around 10:30 p.m. local time, and that three people came in by the front window and ransacked the house before leaving with stolen property.
Pitt was not home at the time of the alleged burglary as he was on a media tour promoting his summer blockbuster F1: The Movie, which released in theaters on June 27.
Pitt, a two-time Oscar winner for acting in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and producing 12 Years a Slave, bought the residence from oil heiress Aileen Getty for $5.5 million in April 2023, The Daily Mail reported.
Outside of the alleged break-in at his home, Pitt’s personal life has made headlines recently, as the actor’s mother, Jane Etta Pitt, recently died at age 84.
Pitt’s ex, Jennfier Aniston, also spoke about him in a new interview with Vanity Fair, in which she revealed that she speaks about the actor with another one of his former partners, Gwyneth Paltrow.

When asked if she and Paltrow speak about Pitt, Aniston said that “of course” the friends do.
“How can we not?” she asked. “We’re girls.”
