Matthew Perry's Pacific Palisades home, where the beloved Friends actor was found dead last year, has found a new owner. The property has been purchased by Anita Verma-Lallian, a real estate developer and film producer with Indian roots, in an off-market deal for $8.55 million (approximately ₹72.
04 crore). The timing of the purchase coincided with Diwali, and Verma-Lallian honored Perry’s life by performing a Hindu puja at the house, which she shared on her Instagram. Sitting by the pool, where Perry tragically passed, Verma-Lallian marked the occasion with a traditional ceremony led by a priest.
In her post, she expressed an instant connection to the property, writing, “The moment I walked into the home, I absolutely fell in love with the features, especially the view of the Pacific Ocean. We knew it was ‘the one’ and decided to write an offer on it immediately.” She shared that she plans to retain some of Perry’s unique touches, notably the Batman logo in the pool, and to add personal elements to create her ideal vacation retreat.

It boasts four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and an open-concept design with glass walls that slide away, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Key features include a pool, hot tub, fire pit, multiple patios, and a built-in wine wall, all surrounded by minimalist white-and-gray decor.

5 crore). The actor made extensive renovations, including the addition of the pool and hot tub. Besides this residence, Perry owned a Malibu beach house and a penthouse in Los Angeles, which he sold to Rihanna for $21 million.
