Less than 24 hours after the announcement that Larry King and his wife Shawn Southwick were splitting, police were called to the couple's Beverly Hills home.

X17online has learned that the phone call came from within the house around 8am, and a spokesperson for the Beverly Hills Police Department tells X17online, “We got a call about the paparazzi blocking the sidewalk. The Kings were complaining that when they try to leave their home, photographers mob the driveway.”

Beverly Hills PD has stepped up their patrols around the King residence, but when officers arrived on the scene this morning, they observed no violations. As for the photographers hanging around King's house, police say as long as they’re not causing any violations, they’re free to stick around.
