It's not unusual for celebrities to want a little privacy when it comes to their personal lives but what about when the media and paparazzi follow your every turn?

This is what happens on a daily basis for stars like Kim Kardashian and her husband, Kanye West.

After recently being the victim of a terrifying burglary while on holiday in Paris, it's not surprising the pair keep themselves to themselves at home.

Hidden Hills is an exclusive neighbourhood in Los Angeles that is so private you won't even be able to find it on Google Maps.

If you search for a property in the complex online, you won't be able to find it because as far as Google Maps is concerned, it's invisible.

While the area does appear on the maps there are no details of any of the roads that are found in the neighbourhood.

All of the 550 homes there cannot be seen on Google Street View.

Google's high tech street cars that photograph homes are actually banned from entering the gated community.

Usually when you type in an address on a public street Google Street view allows you to see each home from any angle you choose.

You won't have much luck when it comes to Hidden Hills however, the function won't even let you move any further down the street.

The discreet neighbourhood gives piece of mind to celebrities who spend their lives in the spotlight but want to do a disappearing act at home.
