Update 4:20 pm
Police said they searched Chasen's home and office on Tuesday afternoon.
"We don't have anything at this point," said Sgt. Lincoln Hoshino of the Bevery Hills police department. "The investigation is 12 hours old."
Police did not, however, contact the W Hotel, general manager Jim McPartlin told TheWrap.
McPartlin said there was adequate security outside of Drai's, the club on Hollywood Boulevard belonging to the hotel, where around 600 people gathered for the post-premiere party at about 11 pm.

Chasen valeted her car there, according to her close friend Vivian Mayer who saw her at the party.
The valet sits out on the public sidewalk, just next to a busy Metro station, whereas most of the W Hotel is protected by a deep setback from the curb.
Funeral services for friends and family will be held at 11 am on Sunday at Hillside Memorial, 6001 W. Centinela Avenue, Los Angeles 90045.
Chasen is survived by her brother, screenwriter Larry Cohen.
UPDATE 2:20 p.m. PST. (Keep refreshing for updates)
Longtime publicist Ronni Chasen was found shot multiple times early Tuesday in Beverly Hills and later died in the hospital, sending a shockwave through the entertainment community that knew her for decades. Many had seen her at a lavish Hollywood afterparty just minutes before her violent death.
Chasen was shot five times in the chest, then crashed her late-model Mercedes-Benz E350 into a light pole around 12:28 a.m. near Sunset and Whittier, authorities told TheWrap. It wasn't immediately clear whether the car was moving when she was shot, and no one else was in it when police arrived.
The investigation was in preliminary stages, and no suspects or motive had been identified. But police were considering several possibilities, including that she may have encountered a robber on her way home.
Vivian Mayer, one of Chasen's best friends, told TheWrap that she had parked at the new W Hotel in Hollywood, where she was attending an afterparty for the world premiere of "Burlesque" at the Grauman's Chinese Theater a few blocks away. No one saw Chasen leave, or whether she left with anyone, Mayer said.
Chasen lived in Westwood, and was likely driving home when she was shot near the busy intersection about five miles from the party. People who lived nearby told the Los Angeles Times that they heard rapid gunfire and ran to the car, where Chasen, whose window was shattered, was still alive and breathing heavily but not responsive.
