The New York Post reported that a police vehicle visited Smith’s Calabasas mansion after receiving a call. “But they weren’t able to locate the drone because by the time officers arrived at the scene it had already left the area,” the spokesperson told the New York Post.

It was unclear who called the authorities. “It could have been the Smiths or their neighbour. We just sent that unit over there to try to locate the drone and see if there was a paparazzi or what was going on,” the spokesperson said.

Rock, who was hosting the ceremony, had made a tasteless joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett-Smith.

Chris Rock, however, declined to file a police report, but the Academy has launched a review of the incident.
