KISS star's home searched in child porn probe

Simmons and his family tweeted about the investigation on Thursday night.

"We couldn't be more horrified that someone used our residence for such heinous crimes. Law enforcement is on it," Gene's wife Shannon wrote on Twitter.

The Los Angeles Police Department said a unit for crimes against children searched the home near Beverly Hills, a local CBS news station reported.

Police said no member of the family was a suspect, the station reported.

Gene Simmons's Twitter account retweeted numerous tweets saying the family was not implicated and that he was on tour at the time.
