On Monday, a significant development unfolded in the ongoing saga surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) executed search warrants at Combs' residences in Los Angeles' prestigious Holmby Hills neighborhood and Miami's Star Island.
While official statements remain limited, reports indicate a possible connection to a federal sex trafficking investigation.
FOX 11 secured exclusive footage via SkyFOX helicopters, capturing federal agents conducting a thorough search of Combs' Los Angeles residence.
Public records reveal the property is registered under Bad Boys Films, a division of Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment empire, alongside one of his daughters.
Notably, the Department of Homeland Security hasn't publicly identified Combs as a central figure in the investigation.

Security expert Hal Kempfer offered insights during FOX 11's breaking news coverage.
Kempfer suggested that authorities suspect Combs might have been involved in drugging young women.
He indicated that the search likely targets evidence such as laptops, flash drives, and anything potentially linking Combs to the allegations.
Kempfer further explained the extensive legal process involved in obtaining a search warrant of this magnitude, often requiring collaboration with local law enforcement agencies.
A History of Accusations
This raid doesn't occur in isolation.
Combs has faced a series of sexual abuse allegations in recent times.
Many may recall the controversial interview with Katt Williams, where he indirectly hinted at "exposing all lies" when names like Combs, Harvey Weinstein, and R. Kelly surfaced.
Last year, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, also known as Cassie, filed a bombshell lawsuit in a New York federal court against Combs.
The lawsuit detailed disturbing accusations of abuse throughout their relationship, which spanned from 2005 to 2018.
The case reached a swift settlement, but it marked the beginning of a series of accusations.
Just a week later, two additional women stepped forward with lawsuits alleging sexual assault and drugging incidents dating back to the early 1990s.
These lawsuits were filed shortly before the expiration of New York's Adult Survivors Act, a law granting victims a one-year window to pursue legal action regardless of the statute of limitations.
The allegations outlined in these lawsuits are particularly disturbing.
One accuser, Joi Dickerson, claims Combs drugged and assaulted her after a date in 1991.
The lawsuit further alleges that Combs filmed the assault and shared it with industry associates, causing her significant emotional trauma.
As recently as February 2024, a male music producer filed a lawsuit against Combs, accusing him of repeated unwanted sexual advances.
Combs' lawyer, Shawn Holley, vehemently denied the claims, labeling them "absolute fabrications."
The outcome of the federal investigation remains uncertain. However, with these mounting accusations, Combs' reputation faces a critical juncture.
