An actress and TV host is sharing a dire warning about safety.
Camille Anderson took to Instagram on Tuesday, Aug. 19, opening up about a recent scary situation she experienced in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 47-year-old TV host, best known for her role on the show Selling Mega Mansions, detailed her experience. “I can’t believe I’m about to say this, I was mugged in Beverly Hills over the weekend. Yes, mugged, the whole thing,” she said.
Anderson said she was “thrown to the ground very forcefully, like, body slammed into the ground,” by “several grown adult men.”
The actress, who appeared in 2005’s Wedding Crashers, praised the Beverly Hills Police Department, saying they did “a phenomenal job,” and sharing that the police found the alleged muggers “quickly.”
Anderson, who is mom to 15-year-old daughter Brooklyn, said she then ID’d her attackers, not providing any additional information on the situation.
“I’m thankful that I wasn’t hurt badly. I’m just scratched up,” Anderson added, showing scratch marks on her chest. “I have kind of all of these scratches everywhere and my knee is banged up, foot and everything.”
She urged her followers to be safe, saying, “Don’t carry designer bags with any kind of logos. Don’t wear any nice watches.”
After taking time to reflect on the situation, Anderson wrote in her Instagram caption, “I’ve had a few days to process this and now I’m mad. I’m mad that these a——- so clearly have no regard for human life. For what, a purse, a watch, and a phone? Guess what, they were caught.”
She noted in her video that despite originally being undecided on whether she’d share her story, “I just want to get this message out there to take safety so seriously in Los Angeles. It’s a really big problem… I’ve been here for a long time in this city. I love it so much and it’s just really changed.”
PEOPLE has reached out to Anderson and the Beverly Hills Police Department for updates on the situation.
