The search on Thursday was conducted by members of the
Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, a Los Angeles
Police Department spokeswoman said, but gave no further details.
"None of the family is a suspect in this investigation," officer
Nuria Vanegas said.
A representative for Simmons told NBC news that the police visit
was to "discuss a crime that may have occurred on their property
last year while Mr. Simmons was away on tour with KISS."
"Neither Mr. Simmons nor any member of his family is a person of
interest in the investigation and they are cooperating fully
with the investigation," the representative said in a statement.
Simmons' wife Shannon thanked fans for their support in a
Twitter message late on Thursday, adding "We couldn't be more
horrified that someone used our residence for such heinous
crimes. Law enforcement is on it."
Simmons co-founded metal band Kiss in the early 1970s and
appeared with his family in TV reality show "Gene Simmons Family
Jewels" for seven years until it ended in 2012.
