According to the reports by TMZ, at least one of the burglars made his way into the luxury home and shot at Jacqueline.

According to reports provided to the Hollywood Reporter concerning the matter, Beverly Hills Police Chief Mark G. Stainbrook said of the incident:

"I don't think it's a random attack. Crime of any type will not be tolerated, and we will not rest until the suspect or suspects are brought to justice."

The who's who in the industry have since sent out their tributes. Bill Clinton mused over how great of a woman Jacqueline was, saying that she was a wonderful friend to him and his wife Hillary for many years.

Jacqueline's legacy as a noted philanthropist will live on. She was a massive supporter of child care and served on the Board of Directors of the International Student Center at UCLA.

Their love story is one built on immense love and trust. Together they have beaten all odds to become one of Hollywood's long-lived couples. Married in 1967, they share two children, Alexander Du Bois and Nicole Avant.

Nicole is the former U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas and is married to Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos. She is also a producer of the 2019 Netflix documentary "The Black Godfather," which chronicles her father's story.

The power couple is dedicated not only to what they can do for themselves but also to the positive ways they can impact the world and those around them.
