Brave dog takes on scary beast
Footage shows the 17-year-old dog named Doodle watch the beast smash through the door before trying to fend it off with his barks.
All this while the dog's owner, Zoe Cadman, lay fast asleep.
The nail-biting moment, which saw the hairy intruder roam around the house for almost half an hour, was caught on Zoe's home security cam.
Unprovoked, the bear is then seen wandering over to the fridge and raid its contents before making its way out - leaving both Zoe and Doodle unscathed.
Fit with a massive collar, it's not clear whether the bear was being monitored or if it belonged to anyone.
But neighbours suggest the enormous creature is a frequent visitor.
One local told NBC Los Angeles: 'It's part of living up here. We're really close to the mountains and they were here first.
'But luckily, knock on wood, they've all been really friendly coming through here.'
This isn't the first time nosy bears have come up close and personal with humans.
Last year, disturbing footage showed the moment a man was savagely attacked by a raging 40st bear at a zoo.
The man climbed the 13ft enclosure and jumped into the bear pit before the beast tossed him around like a rag doll.
Footage shot by shocked visitors shows the bear pouncing on the man, said to be in his mid-20s, before grabbing him and clamping its jaws around his shoulders.
He was seen bleeding from the head, arms and left hand after the brutal attack while the emergency services scrambled into action.
Around 40 bear attacks take place around the globe every year - and some of them turn out to be fatal.
Last year, a massive brown bear fatally mauled a father and son after the raging beast broke into their home.
The man-eating bear broke into the house in Luchegorsk, Primorsky region in eastern Russia, killing and eating the pair, aged 87 and 56.
Meanwhile, another man was savagely mauled to death by a wild brown bear as he picked mushrooms in a forest in Slovakia.
The beast tore one of the victim's main arteries with just its paw, the rescuers' report claims.
Despite an emergency chopper being able to locate the man in the tricky terrain, they were too late and couldn't save him.
Another woman was left dead and five others injured after two separate bear attacks just hours apart in Slovakia.
Meanwhile, a Belarusian woman was found dead in the Low Tatras mountains while five others were injured by a rampaging bear just eight miles away in Liptovsky Mikulas.
In a shocking case, a hoverboard-riding circus bear attacked its handler during a cruel show in front of screaming families in Russia.
The raging female bear suddenly became agitated and lunged at the circus performer during a show packed with kids and parents in Biysk.
The captive animal launched itself at Sergei Prichinich, 48, after she seemed fed up of having to perform on the hoverboard.

US immigration agents barred from LA Dodgers' stadium: team
The Los Angeles Dodgers said Thursday the club barred federal immigration agents from the team's stadium parking lot as a fresh wave of raids continued across America's second-biggest city. The Dodgers, who have been criticized for their failure to comment publicly on the US government's immigration crackdown in Los Angeles, said in a statement the team denied access to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who "requested permission to access the parking lots." "They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization," the statement said, adding that the team's game later Thursday would go ahead as scheduled. Images and video shared on social media showed a line of unmarked trucks and masked agents at one Dodger Stadium entrance while protesters nearby chanted "ICE out of LA." The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) later clarified that the agents at the venue were from US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), not ICE. "This had nothing to do with the Dodgers. CBP vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement," a DHS statement said. The incident comes against a backdrop of heightened tensions in Los Angeles, which has become ground zero of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown across the United States. The city has seen scattered violence but mostly peaceful protests in recent weeks, ignited by an escalation in federal immigration sweeps that have targeted migrant workers in garment factories, car washes and other workplaces. Local media reported further raids across the city on Thursday targeting Home Depot stores, a home improvement retailer where day laborers often gather in parking lots seeking work. In addition to the mobilization of ICE agents, Trump has ordered the deployment of thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines into the city in response to the protests -- a move opposed by city leaders and California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is a Democrat. The incident at Dodger Stadium on Thursday comes as the reigning World Series champions have faced criticism for their response to the immigration crackdown. The team has a heavily Latino fan base, with some claiming a sense of betrayal over the franchise's failure to speak out against the ongoing raids. As of early Thursday, the Dodgers have made no formal statement in regard to the immigration raids across the city. - '100 percent betrayal' - The team's failure to condemn the immigration offensive came under scrutiny last weekend, when Latin American pop singer Nezza defied Dodgers officials and sang the US national anthem in Spanish before the team's home game. Speaking outside Dodger Stadium on Thursday after federal agents had left the venue, one 27-year-old fan among a small group of protesters told AFP she felt let down by the team. "They've been very quiet since these ICE raids started, and I think it's very hypocritical of them not to say anything when the majority of their fan base is the Latino population here in Los Angeles," Paola, who asked only to be identified by her first name, told AFP. "It 100 percent feels like betrayal. I was born and raised here, I've supported them my whole life -- for them not to come out and support us during these times is messed up." Los Angeles Times sports columnist Dylan Hernandez has slammed the team's response to the immigration crackdown. "The Dodgers boast that more than 40 percent of their fan base is Latino, but they can't even be bothered to offer the shaken community any words of comfort," Hernandez wrote. "How ungrateful. How disrespectful. How cowardly." While the Dodgers have remained silent, the team's popular outfielder Enrique Hernandez lashed out against the raids in a statement on Instagram. "I am saddened and infuriated by what's happening in our country and our city," wrote Hernandez, who is from Puerto Rico. "This is my second home. And I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart. ALL people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights."

Wendy Williams' ex sues for $250 million on her behalf
Kevin Hunter is taking legal action against the facilitators of Williams' years-long guardianship on her behalf. According to court documents obtained by People magazine, Hunter filed the lawsuit, which demands a jury trial, on Tuesday. It named 48 defendants, whom he claims have violated her constitutional rights. Among them are her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey; the judge presiding over the guardianship, Lisa Sokoloff; Wells Fargo, her assisted living facility; and several lawyers. "Guardianship is a civil death. In New York, more than 28,000 adults are being abused, neglected and defrauded under the care of court-appointed guardians.'
