Lana Parrilla of Once Upon a Time fame had a trespasser at her home in Los Angeles earlier this month.
According to TMZ, an unknown man was spotted in front of the 47-year-old star’s home by security.
The outlet reported that when security approached the person, he ventured further onto the property grounds, leaving them to call the Los Angeles Police Department.
After law enforcement surveyed the property, the suspect — a 40-year-old homeless man — emerged from the house and surrendered.
Parrilla is known for her role as Regina Mills/the Evil Queen on the ABC fantasy drama.

Nothing was stolen from the premises of the home and the intruder was arrested and booked into jail.
And Lana was out of town when the incident took place.
Police officers believe the situation was nothing more than an unhoused person roaming onto someone’s property, which is an ongoing issue in the neighborhood.
It was reported, however, that a source close to the situation believes the actress may have been targeted.
Despite the unfortunate scenario, Parrilla has been active on social media.
Last week she shared a set of smiley photos from a trip to Puerto Rico, writing in a caption to her 1.5 million followers, ‘Dime Detective Daze.’
Earlier this year the Hollywood fixture discussed her experience with homelessness when she was younger.
During an appearance on an episode of Tommy DiDario’s I’ve Never Said This Before podcast, she revealed a fear of being homeless again has stayed with her ever since.

‘There’s always a little part of me, in the back of my head, that’s like, “Oh my God, don’t ever stop working so hard,”‘ Lana said.
‘I was homeless for two months living in a car,’ she shared. ‘I just don’t ever want to end up there again.’
The star said that her time without a stable living situation ‘forces’ her to ‘be more creative and find new ways to make money and find all these different ways to, like, develop projects and do your own thing and take on all these new talents.’
Lana went on to reveal that she was still a teenager when she went through the bout of homelessness.
‘There was a time, early on on my career — and it was very early on — I was living on my own, like 19 years old. It was a really hard time,’ she recalled.
