Search of the Property
Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) executed a warrant to inspect Linda Blair’s Southern California residence on July 31. Permits for the facility had expired in 2023, and officials noted that multiple attempts to contact the property owner had gone unanswered. The DACC declined to disclose how many animals were present and emphasized that the investigation remains active.
Background on the WorldHeart Foundation
Linda Blair, 67, is best known for her role as Regan MacNeil in the 1973 horror film *The Exorcist*. In 2003 she founded the Linda Blair WorldHeart Foundation, a nonprofit that rescues, rehabilitates, and places abandoned dogs. The foundation’s website lists at least 128 dogs available for adoption, though it is unclear how many reside at the inspected property.
Official Statements from Authorities and Blair
In an Instagram video posted after the inspection, Blair said she was “good” and that “the animals are good,” describing the visit as a “big surprise” that resulted only in paperwork and new diagrams. She confirmed she cooperated with officials and encouraged supporters to donate to her foundation.
