The House Where Matthew Perry Died Has Been Sold, Days Before the First Anniversary of His Death
Matthew Perry was found dead inside his California home on Oct. 28, 2023. The sudden death sent shockwaves through Hollywood and led to several arrests. While it’s been a year since the Friends star died, the house he owned has only just now been sold. Reportedly, the sale was finalized just days before the first anniversary of his death.
A movie producer and real estate developer purchased Matthew Perry’s house
The home where Matthew Perry died in October 2023 has officially been sold. According to Page Six, the house was purchased by a movie producer and real estate developer in an off-market deal. The new owner paid $8.5 million for the four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home. The property includes 3,500 square feet of living space and a well-kept backyard, including an expansive hot tub where Perry was found dead.
The Pacific Palisades house was reportedly purchased as an investment property. However, it is unclear exactly how the new owner intends to use the space. Perry bought the home in 2020. According to property records, he paid $6 million.
Before moving into the home, Perry made some significant real estate moves. Before he purchased the Pacific Palisades home, he mostly resided in Malibu. According to People, Perry offloaded a stunning Malibu beach house after a decade of ownership in 2021. The same year, he sold his 9,300-square-foot Los Angeles penthouse. The penthouse languished on the market for two years before its sale.

Perry reported that he had had 15 different rehab stays, had detoxed dozens of times, and attended thousands of AA meetings in his quest to remain sober. He also had several lengthy hospitalizations from complications of his substance use, including a five-month-long stay in a California hospital after his colon burst.

In August, five people were arrested in connection with Perry’s death. Two doctors, an alleged distributor, one of Perry’s associates, and his assistant were all charged.
