The theft was committed "on Friday in her hotel room, and the actress and her entourage contacted the police during the day," the source said, stressing that the value of the jewelry does not reach the tens of thousands of euros initially mentioned by the press and does not represent "a significant amount "compared to the amounts involved in the various previous events on the Cote d'Azur.
"It is not possible to rule out the possibility that this theft was committed by someone else," the source added.
