Bear Wanders Into Reporter’s Live Shot While She’s Covering A Bear Attack Story

March 17, 2026

Sometimes the news writes itself.

A reporter for KTLA got quite the surprise during a live broadcast Sunday morning when the very subject of her story suddenly appeared behind her.

Reporter Erin Myers was on location in a neighborhood in Monrovia, California, teasing an upcoming segment about a recent bear attack in the area.

As she spoke during the 9 a.m. broadcast, viewers — and the newsroom — noticed something unexpected moving in the background.

A bear casually wandered into the driveway behind her...

The moment was both tense and unintentionally hilarious: a reporter covering a bear story… suddenly sharing the screen with an actual bear.

Thankfully, no one was hurt, and the unexpected guest turned the live report into a moment viewers won’t soon forget.

Sometimes, nature really does have perfect timing.
