Celebrity Hairstylist Found Butchered At Home

Fabio Sementilli

Fabio Sementilli was beaten and butchered to death by two people who bypassed a large gate to enter his posh Woodland Hills home, CBSLA reported on Tuesday.

Sementelli’s wife and daughter discovered the bloody corpse, which had stab wounds to the face, neck and chest, sprawled across the back patio at 5 p.m. Monday, the TV station said.

The unidentified attackers sped away in Sementelli’s black 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera with paper license plates.

Detectives were trying to determine if Sementelli, 49, was targeted, or the victim of a random burglary.

The always smiling Sementelli was known affectionately as “Big Daddy” by the many budding hair stylists he mentored.

Over the years, he owned several salons in LA, and was the “key stylist” on Hollywood productions, including “Angel Eyes” with Jennifer Lopez, “Cinderella Man” with Russell Crowe and “Knock Around Guys” with John Malkovich and Vin Diesel.

Family and friends were seen paying their respects at the home of the popular hair stylist on Tuesday.

Eden Sassoon, the daughter of Vidal Sassoon and the star of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, described Sementelli as “a man that truly cared. Excuse my French, he gave a (expletive). It made a difference.”

“To lose your father, your husband, your son to a crime like that, my heart truly just goes out to them. I don’t know. I can’t imagine,” Sassoon said, choking up. “It’s a huge loss for them, a huge loss. I don’t know when and if in their lifetime those shoes can be filled. He really stood out. When you say his name, you smile.”
