DailyMail.com has reached out for comment, but has not heard back, at this time. 

According to Fox 11, the guard 'was taken into surgery and is expected to survive.' 

At the time, 'investigators said at least four people were inside the home at the time of the shooting.' 

A neighbor told KTLA that violent incidents, like this, are rare in the area.

'I'm sure whatever happened here was captured on the security camera,' she said. 'Unfortunately, that can bring danger with it, too.' 

Esmailian's seven-bedroom home, which is currently on the market, reportedly boasts nine bathrooms, a 'state-of-the-art security system' and indoor pool.

Other amenities inside the mansion, located on a 34,000 square-foot, include two temperature-controlled wine cellars, gym, theater and sauna. 

An insider also told TMZ that 'the shooting was a result of an attempted home invasion.'

Police told the outlet that say the three unknown assailants fled the scene before the cops arrived and 'it's unknown whether they were wounded or not.' 

Esmailian, who is the co-founder of XO Records and the co-manager of the label's primary artist, singer the Weeknd, was reportedly left unharmed. 

In 2015, Esmailian was named to Billboard's 40 Under 40: Music's Young Power Players list. 

Esmailian works with some of the music industry's biggest artists, including Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert and Diddy.

Both Esmailian and his longtime client, The Weeknd, were recently dissed in rapper Drak's new track, Push Up, which came out earlier this month. 

Back in 2017, Cash XO opened up about his career and working with The Weeknd, who he explained was truly one-of-a-kind. 

'There's nothing like him,' he told Complex, before detailing how he not driven by having a fancy title or impressive LinkedIn page. 

'There's no job for any [XO] guys too big or small,' he said proudly. 'If something spills on the ground, no one's like, 'I'm not gonna pick it up 'cause it's not my job.' Whoever's closest gets it. That's the mentality with us.'
