The victims of a shocking double murder -- "American Idol" music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca -- had three pets ... who TMZ has learned are safe and sound.

Los Angeles Police Department Lieutenant Guy Golan tells TMZ ... the couple had three pets -- a small white dog, a tortoise and a parrot -- and all three were found alive and unharmed. They were turned over to friends and family, we're told.

We've also confirmed with our law enforcement sources that authorities recovered a handgun at the scene, which they will test to determine if it belongs to the victims or the suspect.

Dan Rivera -- the paranormal investigator who worked for the Annabelle haunted doll tour -- told people around him he wasn't feeling well just hours before his untimely death in Pennsylvania ... TMZ has learned.

Adams County Coroner Francis Dutrow tells us ... Dan was surrounded by coworkers Sunday morning -- but, they parted ways when he told them he was sick and needed to go back to his room to rest.

We're told these coworkers hadn't heard from him in a while, so they went to check on him ... which is when they found him dead.

More legal woes are bubbling for Skai Jackson’s baby daddy Deondre Burgin ... 'cause TMZ has learned he's been arrested again -- this time for a warrant while washing a car he should not have been driving!

Here's the scoop ... Deondre was giving his vehicle a good ol’ scrub-down at a Kentucky gas station on July 14 when police drove by and apparently ran his license plate -- which is something cops often do in Kenton County, KY, according to a rep for the Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney's Office.

The spokesperson tells us the plate check revealed Deondre has an active warrant out of Hamilton County, Ohio, so the police busted him.

Troy Ave's going from hero to zero ... 'cause it turns out he did NOT stand up to an armed robber -- instead, he and his buddy staged a shootout for social media clout.

Here's the deal ... Troy's pal, chef Geoff Cole, posted a wild video Tuesday purportedly showing a gunman sneaking up on both of them outside Geoff's San Diego area home, only to have Troy whip out his own handgun and fire on the supposed assailant.

Well, sources who've been in direct contact with the bogus bad boys have confirmed the whole scene was fake. No one actually attempted to rob Geoff, and we're told Troy did not actually fire any live rounds.

Pete Davidson is gearing up for his biggest role yet -- fatherhood ... 'cause TMZ has learned he's expecting his first child with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt.

Sources close to the couple tell us Elsie is due this winter and the couple just started telling friends and family. We're told the pair couldn’t be more excited.

As we reported, Pete and Elsie were first linked in March and took their relationship to the next level quickly -- we broke the story that they were officially moving in together by May.

Michael Knowles says the controversy regarding Jeffrey Epstein had a "client list" or not won't break the MAGA movement ... but, he admits it might be the biggest challenge the coalition's ever faced.

The Daily Wire host appeared on "TMZ Live" Wednesday to discuss Donald Trump's recent Truth Social post where he told people he doesn't want the support of people who are doing the work of the "Lunatic Left" by focusing on Epstein.

Knowles says people in the MAGA movement want justice ... either in the criminal justice system or through political consequences if it comes out that our government or foreign countries played a part in assisting Epstein's abuse.

Wiz Khalifa and Sean Paul have been living it up all July on their "Good Vibes Only" tour, alongside DaBaby, and IYKYK ... these two cool dudes didn't simply connect over their love for music!!!

Sean Paul has several years on Wiz, but still remembers when he topped the chart with "Black & Yellow" way back when.

1:30 PM PT -- Perry Farrell's legal team tells TMZ ... “This is yet another clear example of the group uniting to isolate and bully frontman Perry Farrell. The timing of this baseless lawsuit is no coincidence—it was filed only after they caught wind of legal action coming from our side. It’s a transparent attempt to control the narrative and present themselves as the so-called ‘good guys’—a move that’s both typical and predictable."

They continue, "Just like when they released a defamatory and entirely unfounded statement about Perry’s mental health and unilaterally canceled the remaining tour dates without his input, they’re once again scrambling to get ahead of the truth in a desperate effort to save face.”

Dave Navarro is suing Perry Farrell for assault and battery ... and his fellow Jane's Addiction members are also jumping on the lawsuit -- demanding millions from the lead singer.

Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins filed a lawsuit against Farrell Wednesday over a fight that went down onstage in September 2024 ... which they say derailed their North American tour and planned album afterward.

Remember ... we obtained video from a show on September 13, 2024, where Farrell and Navarro got into each other's faces and began shoving one another.

The stunning double homicide of "American Idol" music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband has rocked their Los Angeles neighborhood amid skyrocketing break-ins in the area ... and now the family directly next door wants to get the hell out of there.

The neighbor of the slain couple tells TMZ ... he and his family are completely terrified -- but not as shocked as they could be, since he says crime -- home break-ins, specifically -- in the Encino area has escalated dramatically the past few years.

We're told, immediately after news broke of the killings, several neighbors had an impromptu meeting where they agreed to look out for one another ... 'cause it was simply getting too dangerous to rely on home security systems alone.

The alleged murderer of "American Idol" Music Supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, left forensic evidence behind that directly led to his arrest ... sources with knowledge tell TMZ.

The LAPD arrested 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian, and our sources say the key piece of evidence linking him to the crime is fingerprints ... cops were able to lift fingerprints from the crime scene.

Authorities were able to match the prints to Boodarian because his prints were in the LAPD's database. Boodarian had been arrested on 3 separate criminal battery cases in 2024, and protocol is to get fingerprints upon arrest.

Taylor Swift's dad had to go under the knife for a heart procedure ... and she was by his side in the hospital ... but now he's feeling fantastic, TMZ has learned.

The singer's spokesperson tells TMZ ... Scott Swift had quintuple bypass surgery over a month ago and his wife, Andrea, and their kids, Taylor and Austin, were with him through the entire surgery and recovery process. Taylor's rep also told us the procedure was NOT the result of a heart attack, and he's feeling just great.

Scott -- who's been married to Taylor's mom Andrea for 37 years -- originally went in for a check-up and his doctor saw something, which led to the surgery.

Akon is assuring TMZ Hip Hop that reports of his beloved "Akon City" project being canceled are grossly overblown -- but he says there are a few haters who want to see it that way!!!

We caught up with Akon this week in NYC and got updated on his new-age city -- in addition to the country album he told us he was working on back in April.

Akon says his country classic is 60% done ... he doesn't want to rush the process and disrespect the community, and has been spending time in Nashville with Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts to soak up that honky-tonk energy!!!

Randy Couture is on the mend ... TMZ Sports has learned he's been discharged from the hospital following his scary crash last week and is now at home recovering.

The UFC legend sustained serious injuries after he wrecked his car during practice runs at a racetrack in Kansas City ... and actually needed to be airlifted to a medical facility to get treatment.

We're told he suffered first and second-degree burns in the accident ... and had trauma injuries as well as smoke inhalation.

Ever since she was spotted at Jeff Bezos' mega-wedding, rumors swirled that Sydney Sweeney may be in the running to be the next Bond Girl for his Amazon MGM Studios ... but TMZ has learned that casting isn't being shaken or stirred.

An insider with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... Sydney is not currently in talks to play the next Bond Girl, despite rampant online speculation -- and even some headlines debating the proposed choice.

We hear the casting conversation is just wishful thinking by her fans ... plus, there's also the fact the next film has just barely begun to take shape, with Denis Villeneuve recently tapped to direct. And no one has been cast yet to take the 007 mantle from Daniel Craig!

Shawn Ashmore and his wife Dana are speaking out on the horrific 2023 murder of their friend Mei Li Haskell ... finally feeling some sense of closure after the suspect, Sam Haskell IV -- the son of legendary TV agent Sam Haskell -- died by suicide and spared them the agony of a trial.

The "X-Men" star and his wife tell TMZ in a statement ... "Our hearts are heavy, but we feel some small sense of peace knowing there is finally a bit of closure. We are mourning the loss of an extraordinary mother, someone who poured her entire heart into her three boys and never stopped putting them first."

The couple was not allowed to speak out about the case until now ... because they were working alongside authorities as a representative for their close family friend.

12:07 PM PT -- Our law enforcement sources tell us Robin and Thomas were both shot in the head ... and they were found in different rooms.

We're told cops are reviewing surveillance footage and no one is in custody ... and as of now, this doesn't appear to be a burglary because the home was not ransacked.

Our sources say police found no signs of a break-in when they responded to the 911 call last week ... we're told a LAPD helicopter flew over the house but the suspect was not there when cops arrived.

Robin Kaye, an award-winning music supervisor on "American Idol," was found dead inside her Los Angeles home ... and TMZ has learned she and her husband, Thomas Deluca, were the victims of a gruesome double murder.

Our law enforcement sources tell us the bodies of the couple were discovered Monday inside their house in Encino after LAPD officers showed up for a welfare check.

We're told cops saw blood at the front entrance and then smashed a window to gain entry to the home, where they found Robin and Thomas suffering from possible gunshot wounds. They were both declared dead at the scene.
