9:40 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us the suspects ordered 2 men who were traveling in the Rolls with Richard to the ground and took jewelry. Richard had already gone inside his home. We're told Richard's security came out of the home and that's when the shootout started.
8:41 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the 3 suspects tailed a Rolls-Royce containing Fashion Nova CEO Richard Saghian into the hills. We're told it's unclear if they were aware Saghian was traveling in the vehicle, or if they only followed it because of the Rolls' value.
Our sources say once the vehicle parked, the 3 suspects jumped out and that's when the shooting happened. A source close to Saghian tells us he had already made it inside his home when the shots rang out ... we're told he was NOT injured.
Law enforcement sources tell us they're working to connect this incident with similar cases that have happened recently in the area.
A possible robbery off the Sunset Strip at a multi-million-dollar house erupted in gunfire early Friday morning and ended in a car chase ... one person is dead and at least 3 others were shot.
It was a chaotic scene at around 2 AM, starting at a home on Blue Jay Way, a famed street deep in the Hollywood Hills. Witnesses say they heard around 10 gunshots.
We're told the chaos started when 3 men drove up to the house in an Audi and began firing. A security guard was shot but returned fire and struck 2 of the suspects, killing one of them.
We're also told when police arrived they found the security guard under a Range Rover at a nearby house. Our sources say the guard was a retired sheriff's deputy. We're told he was shot in the stomach and taken to a hospital.
The Audi then fled down Blue Jay with a flat tire and LAPD cornered the car just outside the border of Beverly Hills. The suspect who died was still in the car. Cops say another suspect who was wounded was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The third suspect in the car was uninjured.
There were multiple 911 calls from different addresses on Blue Jay, and cops are still sorting this all out.

Raiders' Mark Davis Parties At Vegas Casino Opening ... Unfazed By Mini Crash!!!
Think a fender bender is going to get in the way of Mark Davis' partying?!?
HELL NO ... 'cause just one day after the Raiders owner was involved in a parking lot car crash -- he was living it up at a Las Vegas casino opening celebration!!!
The 66-year-old was spotted laughing, gambling and rubbing elbows with big-time celebs at Thursday's Resorts World Las Vegas party ... clearly unfazed that his Mini Cooper was damaged in a wreck Wednesday.
We broke the story, the son of legendary Raiders owner Al Davis collided with another car in a shopping complex near the Vegas strip ... but, fortunately, he escaped with no injuries.
In fact, Davis later told the Las Vegas Review-Journal the whole thing was "no big deal" ... adding he was going to get the car repaired this week.
We're sure Davis -- who's reportedly worth more than $500 MILLION -- found some other mode of transportation to the party Thursday night ... which, by the looks of things, was VERY good for the Raiders honcho.
Celebs in attendance at the event included Kendall Jenner, Paris Hilton, Usher and more ... clearly a party Davis was thrilled to be at!!
Hope everyone buckled up on their way out of the valet!!

Gunna Stacks 'O Cash, Bling For My Bday!!! Drake, Future Roll Up Too
Gunna's gonna need a neck brace and darker shades after his star-studded birthday bash ... 'cause that's a lot of shiny bling around his neck and wrists.
The Georgia rapper turned 28 on Monday and went all out for his birthday event, which kicked off with dinner at an Aston Martin dealership -- his guests dined inside a freakin' vault!
That makes sense ... since there were stacks on stacks on stacks of cash sitting right on the dinner table. Gotta eat your greens.
The crew later hit up the Highlight Room in Hollywood where some heavy hitmakers rolled through ... including Drake, Future and Young Thug. Doja Cat, Tristan Thompson, Wale and Nav also showed face at the bash.
The party was presented by Noir Blanc Champaign, owned by Cash of XO Records, so the bottles were flowing. You can see Gunna's friends showered him with even more cash ... including music producer Wheezy, who shelled out a cool $20k "for the years we didn't know each other."
Then there's the bling. So. Much. Bling. Gunna's pretty stoked about his massive diamond-encrusted pinky ring. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
6/14/21
One thing is crystal clear ... it pays to be Gunna 'cause he's an incredibly well-liked dude. As we reported ... Lil Baby gifted Gunna $100k for his bday. Hell, even strangers love Gunna.
The "Dollaz On My Head" rapper was in the middle of telling us how much was going to drop for his birthday when a fan rolled up and paid his respects.

Carole Baskin Rips Celebs Over Tiger at Party ... 'Clueless and Cruel'
12:29 PM PT -- The GDNR tells us there was a permit issued for the tiger to be displayed.
Carole Baskin is blasting Diddy, and several other celebs at an Atlanta birthday bash, for posing with a white tiger ... and she claims there are signs the animal was distressed.
Diddy, Jack Harlow, Ray J, T.I., Gucci Mane, Lil Baby, Teyana Taylor and 2 Chainz attended the party Thursday night for Quality Control Music honcho Pierre Thomas, and Carole says it was a horrible scene for the big cat.
She says the white tiger looked stressed by all the noise and chaos -- that's why it's pacing and mouth breathing ... both signs it's not comfortable in the small cage.
Baskin can't fathom why folks would want to "demonstrate dominion over the world's most magnificent animal" at the party. She sees it as clear exploitation and a slap in the face to mother nature.
Carole's also wondering if the tiger was brought in illegally, and she's urging authorities to investigate the party that was held at ATL's Fox Theatre. The Georgia Dept. of Natural Resources would have to issue a permit for the tiger to be displayed.
We've reached out to the GDNR, and also to Quality Control Music for comment.
Still, Carole feels the whole scene made partygoers look "impotent, clueless and cruel."

JoJo Siwa's extravagantly fun Pride Party took a dark turn when cops were called for a possible overdose.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops and paramedics responded to the call to JoJo's home in the San Fernando Valley a little after 8 PM Wednesday. We're told someone reported a male around 30 years old might have OD'd on LSD.
Sources connected to the party claim the guy showed up to the party high, and in pretty rough shape. We're told the person was transported to the hospital, and police determined there was no crime committed.
That person's health status is unclear at this time. We've reached out to Siwa's rep for more ... no word back so far.
As we reported ... JoJo threw a huge rainbow-themed bash at her house attended by her GF and a bunch of fellow influencers, including Tana Mongeau. The party featured a bounce house, a decked-out pool and kitchen, a bedazzled piano and a whole lot more.
Unfortunately, it seems one person took the fun way too far.

Scott Disick's Bday Party New Harley from New GF, Amelia ... Congrats, You're Twice My Age!!!
Scott Disick pulled off the incredible at his birthday party -- he scored a Harley from his new girlfriend while his ex and her family were there, he gave out insanely expensive party favors ... and he had a churro truck.
Scott, AKA Lord, threw a star-studded bash at his pad Monday in celebration of his upcoming 38th bday, and his 19-year-old GF Amelia Hamlin gifted him a chopper ... which he thanked her for with some heart emojis.
Of course, his party was packed with celebs, including Sia and his quasi-in-laws the Kardashians -- Kim, Khloe and, yes, his ex, Kourtney were there. We all know Kourt and Scott are cool like that, but what's shocking is she took a break from her lovefest with Travis Barker to attend.
The shindig looked pretty awesome, with not only a churro truck but a Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers one to boot. And, as for those insane party favors ... Scott says some people give out candy, but he gives out ice.
Take a look ... there's a huge Rolex collection for the taking, along with chains and pendants. He says it's "how the Lord does it" ... but only if you're invited to his party.

An estimated thousand people swarmed the beachside community Saturday night and police broke up the bash that was called "Adrian's Kickback."
The party was advertised on Tiktok and went viral -- with users all over the country chiming in on the possible bash. The viral vids clearly did the trick, with hordes of people filing the SoCal beach and streets.

The crowd started to form at around 6:30 PM and things got rowdy pretty quickly. By 7:30 it was going full bore and then the fireworks started going off. By around 11:30 PM ... cops made their move, declaring the event an unlawful assembly.
Police dropped some pepper bullets. Firework thrown at police. I was just hit by less lethal munitions in bio and… back of head. #adrianskickback pic.twitter.com/hlwpk1Ah1Z

Police used tear gas to break up the crowd. It was pretty much pure pandemonium as everyone started yelling as they either ran away or ran for cover.
At 11:30 PM the City imposed a curfew that lasted until 5:30 AM Sunday.

Kendall Jenner Huge Celebration for 818 Tequilla ... Kardashians, Katy Perry, Etc There for Support
Kendall Jenner had a splashy launch party for her 818 tequila, and she brought her family along for the celebration.
The Kardashians were out in force Friday night at The Nice Guy in WeHo ... Kim, Kylie, Kris, along with Katy Perry, Kate Hudson, Hailey Bieber and Stassie Karanikolaou.
818 was stacked almost from floor to ceiling as the fam celebrated in mostly skintight duds.
Before hitting up the party, Kim, Khloe and Kylie chowed down at Craig's in WeHo.
Kendall has been a master at pitching her booze ... driving a truck with 818 emblazoned on it to hawk her product. She took heat -- we say unfairly -- for an ad showing her at a farm in Mexico where the tequila is made. Some folks called it exploitive, but that's ridiculous. This is where the tequila is made and men -- like Clooney, Gerber and The Rock -- who did exactly what Kendall did to promote their brand never got criticized. In other words, the criticism is BS.
Khloe, who had COVID earlier last year, was wearing a mask as she showed up to the party. The other Kardashians were mask-free.
Kendall hasn't disclosed her end game with 818, but if history repeats itself she's gonna eventually sell it for hundreds of millions of dollars. Clooney and Gerber sold theirs for close to 1 bil, and Kendall seems to be following their game plan.

Trey Lance will DEFINITELY be poppin' bottles for his 21st birthday this week -- 'cause E-40 just gifted the new 49ers rookie QB with a TON of his signature booze!!!
FYI -- the Bay Area rapper is a HUGE Niners fan, and was stoked when S.F. selected the former North Dakota State star with the 3rd overall pick in last month's draft.
So much so, in honor of Lance joining the squad -- and to celebrate his 21st birthday on Sunday -- E-40 hooked him up ... BAY STYLE!!!
TMZ Sports has learned the 53-year-old delivered NINE bottles of his own booze to the new S.F. rookie -- including 3 bottles of his E. Cuarenta tequila, 3 bottles of his Earl Stevens Selections Wine and 3 bottles of his Tycoon Cognac.
As for why 3 each ... we're told the number just felt right given Lance was the #3 overall pick.

NJ Gov. Phil Murphy Vaxx Shot = Free Beer Plan Working ... There's Only 1 Problem

Exclusive
- 161 shares
Gov. Phil Murphy wants to see 4.7 million NJ residents vaccinated by the end of June, and he's offering liquid encouragement to get it done -- and, not shockingly, he says his plan's working, so far.
Murphy joined "TMZ Live" Tuesday to tout "Operation Jersey Summer" ... his campaign to help the state reach its vaccination goal. There's a long list of initiatives but he says the one getting all the buzz, pun intended, is the shot and free beer program.
The Gov. says that with the Garden State having one of the strongest and fastest-growing craft beer industries, it only made sense to incentivize residents with a free beer at any of the nearly 50 participating breweries ... IF they can prove they got vaccinated in May.
It's that simple ... and Murphy says so far the program's a hit with the young crowd, which he hopes will keep the state's rate of vaccination going in the right direction. He added that even though infection rates are dropping, and more people are getting out and about in warmer weather ... he doesn't want residents getting complacent.
That being said, Murphy does have one dispute with the shot and beer program. Watch the clip ... he was joking, but there's some potential for version 2.0 of "Operation Jersey Summer." Just sayin, Gov!!!
Take us out, Lil Jon!!!

Meek Mill Club Has Strict No-Tekashi Rule ... For 34th Bday Celebration

Exclusive
- 1K shares
Meek Mill's inviting just about everyone to celebrate his 34th birthday in the 305 ... but the club hosting the bash says Tekashi 6ix9ine is persona non grata.
Meek's just hours away from kicking off his so-called 'Meekend' with a huge birthday soiree Friday night at LIV Nightclub in Miami -- and party organizers are prepared to stop Tekashi, who's also in South Florida, if he tries to reheat his old beef with Meek.
2/14/2021
The folks at LIV are all too familiar with Tekashi's rep as an instigator, which is why a source at the club tells us if he and his team show up, they'll be booted before they can get inside the bash.
As we reported, the last time Meek and Tekashi were in Miami they came within an inch of trading blows. Meek had just left KOMODO and was getting into his car when Tekashi appeared and started talking smack.
Things got pretty tense ... and Tekashi at least made it look like he wanted to lunge at Meek. Y'know ... the ol' "hold me back" routine.
Anyway, that feud -- which later spilled onto social media -- was almost 3 months ago. We're told folks at LIV are hoping Tekashi's cooled off by now, but they're not taking any chances.

Chris Brown threw an enormous soiree to celebrate his birthday ... but things got so out of hand cops stepped in and pulled the plug.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... LAPD received multiple calls about loud music and cars double-parked all over Chris' neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley. He turned 32 on Cinco de Mayo but neighbors apparently reached a boiling point in the wee hours of the morning.
We're told cops showed up to the crib Thursday around 2 AM and talked to CB's security. Our sources say the music was turned down but that also spelled the end of the shindig ... which cops estimated had between 400 and 500 guests in attendance.
As you can see from the video ... LAPD showed up in force, with squad cars all over the place directing a massive traffic jam as limos and fancy cars zig-zagged their way out. We're told parking tickets were also issued to improperly parked cars.
You can see a helicopter also hovered above the area ... even more noise for those sleepy neighbors. Cops are all too familiar with CB's crib. In fact ... our sources say 4 police cars and a supervisor were sent over given the troubled history surrounding the pad.
As we've reported ... cops did a welfare check after Chris posted his address on social media during his February 2019 beef with Offset. Cops were also called after CB threw a massive yard sale at his pad back in November 2019.
And, there's no forgetting the last time there was another massive police presence there ... when cops retrieved drugs and weapons.

Kylie Jenner made a big gesture for her baby daddy, Travis Scott -- flying across the country to be by his side as he celebrates his birthday.
She zipped over to Miami Sunday, and joined Trav for a group dinner at Komodo. Our sources tell us they rolled through with their entourage and security detail ... and broke bread at a private table.
She was on hand for the post-dinner clubbing too, and didn't try to hide her appearance either.
In fact, she captured some flirtatious horseplay between them both ... which, at first glance, suggests something's up.
On her IG Story, Kylie recorded Travis dancing up near her ... and her playing footsie with him. He dished out some affection too, grabbing a hold of Kylie's leg and giving her several love taps.
You could see all this and think ... yeah, they're fully back together. Or it could all be friendly -- it's hard to really say at this point.
If they are back, though ... it doesn't look like they're trying to be low-key about it at all, and folks inside LIV definitely noticed.

Chris Hemsworth Star-Studded White Party Damon in the House!!!
Chris Hemsworth threw one helluva soiree down under ... and got his pals like Matt Damon to dress right white for the occasion.
The "Thor" star and wife Elsa Pataky showed off what looked like an incredible shindig Sunday in Australia's hot town of Byron Bay. The star-studded affair was a white-themed party, so everyone showed up in their best duds.
That included Matt, who showed up in a white hoodie and white jeans. Matt's in Australia filming alongside Chris in the new 'Thor' film.
Chris' other famous brother, Liam, was also there ... in tow with his model GF, Gabriella Brooks. Elsa posted video of her and Chris arriving at the party busting moves as they walked into the bash. She captioned the video, "With those dance moves how could I say no! #whiteparty."
The Melbourne folk band The Teskey Brothers provided the night's entertainment.
Chris' other brother, Luke, also showed. Ditto Luke's wife, Samantha and Matt's wife, Luciana Barroso. It should come as no surprise an invite was extended to his personal trainer, Luke Zocchi. Chris' stunt double, Bobby Holland Hanton, also hit up the party.
No word if the party pissed off Chris' neighbors. Pissed they didn't get an invite ... maybe.
