Home Where Matthew Perry Died Finds A Buyer — And She's Keeping The Batman Pool

PACIFIC PALISADES, CA — Almost a year to the day Matthew Perry was found dead at his Pacific Palisades home, the midcentury modern house has been sold for $8.55 million, according to reports.

The 3,500-square-foot, four-bedroom, four-bath home was sold in an off-market deal to Anita Verma-Lallian, a film producer and real estate developer based in Arizona. She intends to use the property — which offers hilltop ocean views — as a vacation home, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Perry purchased the Pacific Palisades house in 2020 for $6 million, the Times reported.

Perry, 54, was found unresponsive in the home's pool on Oct. 28, 2023 and pronounced dead at the scene. The Medical Examiner determinedhe died accidentally from "the acute effects of ketamine," with contributing factors including "drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine."

The "Friends" actor's death prompted an investigation that led to charges against five defendants: a live-in assistant, two doctors and a woman known as the "Ketamine Queen." Three of the those people have signed plea deals with federal prosecutors in a case that prosecutors say illustrates how the suspects are part of a "broad underground criminal network" that supplied ketamine to Perry and others and took advantage of Perry's addiction to enrich themselves.

In an Instagram post that includes photos of the home, its new owner said she knew it was "the one" after falling in love with its features and Pacific Ocean view.

"As a real estate developer myself, I believe every property has a history that we may or may not know about, and every home carries the energy that the current owner brings to it. I am Hindu, and it’s customary to do a blessing and prayer anytime you buy a new home. We were so lucky to have our Panditji from Arizona come to the house to do the blessing," Verma-Lallian wrote.

"We chose to honor the positive aspects of the previous owner’s life, his immense talent, and all the joy he brought to so many people. The decision to purchase the home had nothing to do with the previous owner, just our love of the home," she continued.

Verma-Lallian said she plans to keep some of the design elements as Perry left them — including the Batman logo in the pool.

The deal comes the same week another one of Perry's properties, in the Hollywood Hills, was taken off the market after selling in an off-market deal, according to Realtor.com.

That property, perched above the Sunset Strip, was purchased by Perry for $4.99 million in May 2023. Perry never lived in the 2,566-square-foot, three-bedroom, four-bath home; he began renovating it soon after purchasing it, according to Realtor.com.

The home was originally listed in May for $5.195 million and was later discounted to $4.7 million after failing to find a buyer. It was sold in an off-market deal, according to the website.
