Donald Trump's Hollywood star is smashed to absolute bits

Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star has once again been vandalised, this time by shattering it to pieces.

Witnesses at Hollywood Boulevard say a man pulled a pickaxe from a guitar case before smashing the star to smithereens in the early hours of this morning.

The vandal reported the star-smashing incident at around 3.30am. Police arrived at the scene to find the star completely destroyed in a pile of dust and rubble.

LAPD say the man also handed himself in to Beverly Hills police.

This is one of several attacks on the star, which was afforded to Trump in January 2007 for his role on The Apprentice.

In 2016 during the presidential campaign, a man took a sledgehammer and a pickaxe to the star and destroyed Trump's name on it. A mute symbol was also spray-painted onto the star in 2016.

No previous vandalism of the star has destroyed it to this level.
