A 48-year-old homeless man who allegedly broke into Jennifer Aniston's Malibu home has pleaded not guilty to a burglary charge.

David Hesterbey faces first-degree burglary and petty theft charges and remains in custody with bail set at $70,000.

A temporary restraining order has also been issued against Hesterbey after Aniston filed a petition against him.

A pre-trial hearing for the burglary and petty theft charges was scheduled for 7 September.

If convicted, he faces up to six years in prison.

Hesterbey allegedly vaulted a nine-foot fence last week and entered the actress' rented house in Malibu.

Aniston's employees told police that Hesterbey said he was "looking for Jennifer".

When an employee confronted him, he became startled and fled the house.

He was arrested later that day by police who found him walking along the beach near Aniston's home.

The former 'Friends' star was not at home at the time.
