LOS ANGELES

Police say a man has been found dead at the Hollywood Hills home of Getty oil fortune heir Andrew Getty, but they haven't confirmed that it's him.

Los Angeles police Officer Jack Richter says officers went to the home shortly after 2:15 p.m. Tuesday after a woman called to say someone in the house had died.

Officers found the man in a bathroom, and Richter says investigators interviewed the woman.

Police didn't release any further details.

The 47-year-old Getty is a grandson of J. Paul Getty and one of four sons of Gordon Getty, a multibillionaire who's considered one of the richest men in the United States.

The family said further statements will be released as information becomes available.

Getty had recently taken out a restraining order on a woman, the Los Angeles Timesreports that court records show.

Earlier, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed homicide detectives were at the scene of a home where a man was found and that they were investigating, but they would not confirm the identity. Detectives were trying to determine the cause of death, Officer Nuria Vanegas said.

Investigators responded to the home after a woman called 9-1-1 at about 2:20 p.m. PT, Vanegas said. The woman is a witness and not a suspect, according to Vanegas.

TMZ was reporting that the woman is an ex-girlfriend of Getty's and that the woman had a history of domestic violence.

The residence of Mulholland Drive in the Hollywood Hills is among some of the most expensive real estate in the Los Angeles metro area.

Getty is one of four sons of Ann and Gordon Getty, the son of J. Paul Getty.

The family has seen its share of ups and downs. In 1999, Gordon Getty confirmed that he had a separate family that lived in Los Angeles that included a woman and three daughters. In 2011, J. Paul Getty III died in England at the age of 54 after a long illness. As a teen, he'd been taken by kidnappers, who cut off his ear, and he later suffered a debilitating stroke that left him a quadriplegic. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/03/31/j-paul-getty-grandson-found-dead/70750506/

God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.

Amen.

Like all of us in this storm between birth and death, I can wreak no great changes on the world, only small changes for the better, I hope, in the lives of those I love.
