Los Angeles, Oct 9 (IANS): Pop star Rihanna has moved out of her Pacific Palisades pad here after a trespasser tried to break into her home.

The 25-year-old, currently on her "Diamonds" world tour, hired removal men to shift her stuff out of the property Tuesday after a trespasser was arrested there last week for the third time in recent months.

A source close to Rihanna told gossip website tmz.com that she hasn't been at the house since August, but plans to rent another house here even though she will be spending most of her down time in New York.

A man was caught red-handed by the singer's security team as he attempted to scale the wall surrounding her mansion on Oct 4.

The intruder fled the scene but police caught up with him a mile away from the $12 million property.

A group of burglars also tried to break into Rihanna's home late last month but they managed to run away once a burglar alarm rang soon after they threw a chair through a sliding door.

In February, a stalker accidentally broke into her neighbour's house instead of hers.
