Sources from the Los Angeles Police Department told ABC News that they investigated a possible “swatting incident” at the home of The morning show Star and producer Jennifer Aniston on September 20th.

Unlike so many other incidents of this kind that have made headlines in recent years, this one was relatively harmless: An unknown person called the police to conduct a welfare check on the former Friends However, the star's Los Angeles home was not mentioned by name by TMZ, which published the news.

When police arrived, they quickly realized the call had been a prank. The gossip site said cops had taken down Aniston's address and would call security first before dispatching units if another call came in about the same apartment.

Swatting has become a common prank against celebrity homes, schools, and other locations. In some cases, the calls claim that a shooting is imminent inside, leading to more drastic police action than in this case.

While the case at Aniston's home was quickly closed, the investigation into who made the call is still ongoing.
