Nothing was stolen from the house and the intruder was arrested and jailed.
And Lana was out of town when the incident happened.

“There’s always a little part of me, somewhere in the back of my mind, that’s like, ‘Oh my God, keep working so hard,’” Lana said.
“I was homeless for two months, living in a car,” she said. “I just don’t ever want to be back there.”
According to the star, the time without a stable living situation forces her to “be more creative and find new ways to make money. She also has to find all kinds of different ways to develop projects, do her own thing and attract new talent.”
Lana said she was just a teenager when she became homeless.
“There was a time, early in my career — and it was very early — when I was living on my own, I was 19 years old. It was a very difficult time,” she recalls.
