Orlando Bloom has brushed off his recent $500,000 loss, insisting the jewellery heist at his Los Angeles home doesn't compare to the world's worries.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star's Hollywood Hills mansion was raided on Wednesday evening while he was in New York, and burglars fled with valuables belonging to Bloom.

The actor returned to L.A. on Thursday following the news - but he's adamant the raid is insignificant in the current economic climate.

He tells TMZ.com, "Nobody died. We could have lost a lot more stuff in the world, there wasn't that much. People are suffering a lot more at the moment. People lose their homes!"

No arrests have yet been made in relation to the case.
