The former Liverpool striker is staying at a residence in Hollywood, from which his Pomeranian – named Lucci – and several bags were taken.
The 29-year-old uploaded CCTV footage on Tuesday that shows three hooded men, while another video shows a smashed glass door through which they are suspected to have entered.
An emotional Sturridge stated in an Instagram video that he would “pay anything” to have the dog returned safely.
“Whoever brings my dog back – 20 grand, 30 grand, whatever,” the former England striker said.
“You ain’t going to get more than that anyway, and if you are, let me know. I’ll pay more than them.”
Sturridge also posted several images of the dog on his Instagram account.
“Whoever knows who broke into my crib, I’ll pay you anything, I’m dead serious,” Sturridge said.
“It doesn’t matter the cost.”
