The “American Idol” executive murdered alongside her husband in their multimillion-dollar Los Angeles home had moved there “to be safe” — but had a break-in just weeks before they were killed during a suspected burglary, a family friend has revealed.

Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, both 70, had beefed up security at their Encino home after a perp recently broke in while they were sleeping, the close friend told Fox News.

“They added spikes to the top of the fence… They had spikes on the other side of the fence, and obviously updated their video surveillance as well. They had video surveillance already,” said the family friend, who didn’t want to be otherwise identified.

The initial break-in was while they slept in the middle of the night, the friend said, saying it was just weeks ago.

“Their dog woke them up in the middle of the night… That’s what ran them off,” the friend recalled.

“I think they said they broke a glass and the dog started barking, and the people ran off.”

After ramping up security and surveillance, the couple — “two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet” — told friends they didn’t believe the suspect would show up again, the pal said.

Meanwhile, it previously emerged Kaye had reached out to a private security firm in the weeks before the bloodshed amid fears for her safety.

“She felt threatened by somebody because of somebody around their home or around their neighborhood who felt suspicious,” Kris Herzog, owner of the Bodyguard Group of Beverly Hills, told NBC Los Angeles.

The couple never ended up hiring the company.

Kaye and Deluca were found dead inside their home on Monday after cops were called to carry out a welfare check.

The suspect, 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian, was arrested Tuesday.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Boodarian is also a suspect in the initial break-in just weeks before the slayings.

Cops believe Boordarian had been burglarizing the home, which last sold for around $4.5 million in 2023, on July 10 while the couple were out.

He allegedly opened fire on them when they returned home and busted him, police said.

The couple were found four days later with gunshot wounds to the head in separate rooms — Kaye in the pantry and Deluca in a bathroom.

Detectives don’t believe Boordarian knew the victims.
