The 'Heroes' actress reportedly returned from a trip to Australia last week and discovered someone had got into her Los Angeles home and taken the items.
According to gossip website TMZ, there were no signs of forced entry and several people had been seen going in and out of the property in her absence.
Despite the theft, 19-year-old Hayden - who is single after recently splitting from her co-star Milo Ventimiglia - will have no problem raising the cash to buy some new accessories.
She was recently criticized after Australian fans were charged $50 to have their picture taken with her, with a further $40 if they wanted autographs.
Hayden - who was surrounded by security guards to ensure no one took any unauthorised photographs - also refused to give interviews at the Supanova Pop Culture Expo in Melbourne, but a spokesperson for the event insisted: "She was there for the fans, not the media."
A few days earlier, the actress reportedly ignored autograph hunters who had waited for hours in the rain to speak to her as she left a restaurant in Sydney.
