Kid Rock has warned would-be burglars he is not afraid to shoot.

After a man on crutches was seen trying to gain entry to the musician's home in Clarkston, Michigan, Kid Rock took to his blog to warn anyone else from trying to break in.

In a post entitled 'Don't mess with a M**********r Like Me', he wrote: ''Thank God I was not on the property at the time of this attempted break in. I am an avid hunter and marksman and I will not hesitate to shoot anyone who has myself or family in fear for our lives.''

He included security camera pictures of the intruder and a description and offered a $5,000 reward for information.

The 42-year-old star, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, wrote: '' I take the invasion of my personal space very seriously regardless of who you are and YES, I do profile people. I am currently profiling any balding white male on crutches driving a white creeper van. Please contact the Oakland County Sheriff Tip Line at 1.800.773.2587 with any information on this jackass. I am offering a $5k reward for any information leading to his arrest. Thank you in advance. Kid Rock (sic).''
