"At 4am this morning, Taylor and I wake up to someone trying to enter the code and break into the front door of the airbnb we're staying at in London," she wrote in one post, via Yahoo Canada.
Riddle said Fritz grabbed a tennis racquet as she told him to engage the secondary lock on the door. However, she said the security device had been removed.

"After we called 999, Taylor got distracted trying to kill a mosquito," one of Riddle’s posts added. "Dare the robbers to TRY and square (with) him."
Riddle added she’s had unsafe experiences at other Airbnbs and implored her followers to stay in hotels.
"… I swore I'd never stay in one again after my past experiences and clearly didn't learn my lesson," Riddle added, according to Sports Illustrated.
