US moves to seize DiCaprio's Picasso
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio turns over an Oscar won by Marlon Brando and US investigators move to seize a Picasso painting of his, as part of a probe into alleged money laundering by a Malaysian investment fund.
"From the start of the inquiry, Miranda Kerr co-operated fully and pledged to turn over the gifts of jewellery to the government," Ms Kerr's spokesman told the newspaper.
"Ms Kerr will continue to assist with the inquiry in any way she can."

The jewels were identified in civil-forfeiture lawsuits filed by the US Justice Department pursuing assets allegedly bought with money misappropriated from Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
The fund has denied any wrongdoing and Mr Low has not been accused of a crime.
The Justice Department is seeking more than $US1.7 billion worth of assets.
Ms Kerr reportedly dated Mr Low for about a year in 2014.
The 34-year-old Sydney-born model began dating Snapchat co-founder and billionaire Evan Spiegel in 2015 and the couple married in Los Angeles last month.
Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio was also unwittingly caught up in the investigation and agreed to turn over gifts identified in the lawsuit, including an Oscar won by Marlon Brando.
