Austin Butler has joined an exclusive set of celebrities — those who have had items swiped from their homes … because TMZ has learned cops went to his pad recently after a break-in.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Austin’s security discovered a glass door was shattered on Monday, and, when a guard went inside the house, he noticed the place was ransacked.

We’re told responding cops searched the home but didn’t find any suspects inside.

Matt Pinfield says he’s recovering after ending up in a coma earlier this year … and, he’s crediting his daughter Jessica for his recovery — despite his girlfriend and brother’s misgivings.

The former MTV host spoke with The Hollywood Reporter … and, he says he’s recovering after his scary hospitalization, which left him unresponsive for two months — with doctors even fearing he’d never walk or talk again.

As we told you … Matt’s daughter Jessica filed for a temporary conservatorship to take guardianship of his financial and medical decisions — and, Matt says Jessica is “the one who saved my life. She protected me.”

This is a strong statement of support for his daughter … ’cause Pinfield’s girlfriend, Kara Brown, and his brother, Glenn, claimed Jessica was icing them out — and, they said Matt was far more responsive than Jessica had them believe when they went to visit him in the hospital.

Kara and Glenn went as far as filing legal documents to fight Jessica’s appointment as temporary conservator after Jessica claimed she was worried Kara planned to empty Matt’s bank accounts.

However, it sounds like Matt’s saying he was in serious trouble for many months … battling pneumonia and ending up on a ventilator — but, the support from family, fans and friends helped him get through.

Pinfield told THR he’s looking to be released from the hospital later this month if all goes according to plan.

Kim Kardashian hoped to buy a piece of family history from the O.J. Simpson estate … asking to purchase her dad’s Bible — but, the estate’s executor says it’s too late to purchase it outside the auction.

Here’s the deal … Malcom LaVergne — executor of the late controversial actor’s estate — tells TMZ Kim Kardashian’s team reached out to him last month after we broke the story that some of O.J.’s personal effects were going up for auction.

Among them … a Holy Bible gifted to Simpson by her father, Robert Kardashian — with a note inscribed by the late Kardashian patriarch scribbled inside.

LaVergne claims the Bible was already under contract and court order to be sold to pay off O.J.’s debt — the civil suit judgment Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman‘s families won when a jury found O.J. liable for their deaths.

ML says he made it clear to Kim’s staff that he would have to be “insane” to take the offer … ’cause he would rack up about that much in attorney’s fees to simply get the proper paperwork to sell the Bible outside the auction.

Plus, LaVergne says he had no desire to risk a lawsuit from Goldin Auctions either … so, he couldn’t sell it even if he wanted to. Malcolm says he eventually told Kim’s side they could bid on it in auction, which opened this week.

As you know … Robert was part of O.J.’s legal “Dream Team” when he was on trial for the murder of his ex-wife and Goldman back in 1994 — alongside Johnnie Cochran, Robert Shapiro, F. Lee Bailey, and Alan Dershowitz, among others.

Robert and O.J.’s relationship became strained after Simpson was acquitted … with Robert reportedly telling Barbara Walters that he had his doubts about Simpson’s innocence because of the DNA evidence in the case.
