A spokesman said the 35-year-old had been left
"angry and shaken" over a raid which evaded both the 24-hour
security teams that patrol the street and Ecclestone's own
internal security system.
The second daughter of Formula One's former commercial supremo
lives on Kensington Palace Gardens, amongst the residencies of
the French and Russian ambassadors and close to the Kensington
Palace home of Prince William and his wife Kate.
The average property price for the street stands at 36.5 million
pounds, according to online portal Zoopla, and a police presence
can be seen at all times.
The Sun newspaper reported that Ecclestone, a model and
celebrity in Britain, had just left the country for her
Christmas holidays when the burglars entered the property via
the garden and seized gems from safes hidden in her bedroom.
"I can sadly confirm there has been a home invasion at the
Ecclestone-Rutland family home," a spokesman said, referring to
her husband Jay Rutland.
"Internal security are co-operating with police in this matter.
Tamara and family are well but obviously angry and shaken by the
incident."
A police spokeswoman would not confirm any specific details but
said police had been called to a house in west London just after
2300 on Friday night to reports of a burglary.
"Officers attended," the spokeswoman said. "It was reported that
an amount of high value jewelry had been stolen. There have been
no arrests. Inquiries continue."
