HOLLYWOOD - Pregnant actress Halle Berry has hired security guards after receiving racist threats to her unborn baby, according to media reports.

The Oscar-winning beauty, who is three months pregnant, has received sickening letters from a stalker.

One letter taunted the star, saying her child will be "cut into hundreds of pieces," reports British newspaper The Daily Mirror.

A source tells the paper, "Halle does not normally use security but she has taken on a couple of guys to make sure."

Police are investigating the threats.

Berry is expecting her first child with Canadian model Gabriel Aubry.
