Police called to Will Smith's home following concerns over suspicious drone activity after Oscars incident
Police were called to the home of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith after his shock altercation with Chris Rock at the Oscars.
On March 29, one day after Smith slapped the comedian on stage at the star-studded ceremony in LA, police responded to a call from the Smiths' residences in Calabasas, California, over concerns of suspicious drone activity.
"Yesterday, 03/29/22, at approximately 2:30 p.m., deputies responded to Will and Jada Smith's residence in Calabasas regarding a drone flying over the property," a statement from the Lost Hills Police Station read, as obtained by ET.

"When they arrived, they contacted private security at the location and searched the area for the drone/operator. They were unable to locate either. It was unknown if Will or Jada Smith were home at the time of the incident."
Aside from issuing an apology for slapping Rock on live TV, the King Richard star has not been seen or heard from since the ceremony, where he stormed the stage and slapped Rock for making a joke about wife Pinkett Smith's bald head.

"I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong," Smith wrote in a statement posted to Instagram on March 29.
"I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness."

Rock has also stayed out of the spotlight since the incident. The comedian has yet to speak out about the slap, but a friend told news outlet Page Six he is busy preparing for his stand-up tour, which kicks off in Boston tonight.
"He isn't even thinking of suing, he's focused on his tour," the friend said of Rock's tour, which is completely sold out.
Whether or not he will address the incident on stage remains to be seen.
