"No one in the Simmons family is a suspect in this investigation," an LAPD official told NBC News.
Simmons' rep told NBC News more details from the shocking warrant, saying authorities "visited Mr. and Mrs. Simmons at their home to discuss a crime that may have occurred on their property last year while Mr. Simmons was away on tour with KISS."

"Neither Mr. Simmons nor any member of his family is a person of interest in the investigation and they are cooperating fully with the investigation," the statement continued. "At this time, the police have requested that Mr. Simmons and his family not discuss the investigation publicly so as not to compromise it."
Simmons' wife Shannon Tweed, meanwhile, sent out a message via Twitter on Thursday.
