Leonardo DiCaprio marked his milestone 50th birthday in true Hollywood fashion, by throwing a glamorous (and by all accounts) raucous party that was reportedly held at the ultraexclusive estate of a Walmart heiress, whose home is nestled in one of the most sought-after areas in Los Angeles.
The party on Saturday was attended by dozens of A-list stars, from Paris Hilton and Katy Perry to Brad Pitt and Al Pacino, with sources claiming that the party took place in two homes that make up a sprawling compound owned by heiress Sybil Robson Orr and her husband, Matthew Orr.
According to Page Six, the evening began with a dinner “catered by Nobu,” which Us Weekly claims was attended by the actor’s innermost circle. Then, the party moved to the second property on the estate, where it was opened to a wider group of celebrity guests, who are said to have danced until the early hours of the morning.
However, while DiCaprio’s guests were having a ball, residents in the neighborhood where the party took place were up in arms over the disruption to their evening, due to the swarms of photographers, security, and large SUVs that ferried the stars to and from the venue.
A video obtained by Fox News showed furious neighbors arguing with the valet and other staff at the event, which Us Weekly reported was held at the Orr residence.
The estate, which is near a Hollywood Hills compound owned by the movie star, sits on a primo promontory called The Crown. The incredibly exclusive enclave holds just three properties, two of which are understood to be owned by the Orrs.

Sybil Robson Orr is the niece of Walmart founder Sam Walton, and herself a founder of Robson Orr Entertainment.
She and her husband have long been reported to own two of the three homes on The Crown, which offers “unimpeded panoramic canyon, city and ocean views.”
According to multiple outlets, the couple picked up a six-bedroom, 9,691-square-foot Mediterranean mansion on an acre for $19.5 million in 2010 from Russian heiress Daria Zhukova.
Then, in 2012, they were reported to have snapped up the adjoining five-bedroom, 7,043-square-foot property on 0.67 acres for $17 million, purchasing the home—which was once owned by Lionel Richie—from real estate investor Grant Cardone.
