Jude Law is terrified about the safety of his children after their home was broken into. The 'Cold Mountain' star - whose three kids Rafferty, 11, Iris, seven, and five-year-old Rudy live with their mother, Jude's ex-wife Sadie Frost, in London's Primrose Hill - was devastated to learn the house had been targeted by thieves and has given Sadie his full support.

A source said: "Jude really cares for Sadie and was very upset to hear of the break-in. His first concern is for his children and ex-wife. It was a particularly distressing thing for Sadie and he's there for her."

Sadie - who also has a 17-year-old son, Finlay, from her first marriage to former Spandau Ballet star Gary Kemp - was left badly shaken by the raid as she was in the house at the time. The thieves took cash and credit cards and a laptop thought to contain photos of the children and Sadie's celebrity friends including Kate Moss, Rhys Ifans and Davinia Taylor.

The source added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Sadie's utmost concern is the safety of her children and she'll be doing everything to review security. She is praying the laptop will be returned because of the private and personal information contained on it. The last thing she wants is pictures appearing on the internet."

A police spokesman confirmed: "The crime occurred on January 11 between 7-8pm when the occupier was present. Personal property and a laptop were taken. It's being investigated."

This is not the first time Sadie has been targeted by thieves. Last year, raiders stole signed pictures of Sid Vicious, the family car, a check book, cash and personal photos.
