According to TMZ, police officers say that a man climbed over an exterior wall to get into the grounds of the mansion in Beverly Hills.
He reportedly broke into the house through a back window, and then opened the front gate to pull his car into the driveway.
An employee who was inside the home activated the alarm system which also has a surveillance app, which activated on Giraud's smartphone allowing her to watch what happened as events unfolded.
It's believed nothing was taken during the incident since the police officers arrived quickly and apprehended the suspect.
Giraud is married to producer Michael Ohoven with whom she has two children.
She joined the cast of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills for season four that aired in 2012-13 but was axed after Bravo producers concluded that she failed to resonate with the show's audience.
