An Indian-origin female real estate developer and film producer has bought actor Matthew Perry’s Los Angeles home in Pacific Palisades.
Anita Lallian paid $8.55 million for the property, as per reports. Before moving in, the new owner performed a customary ‘puja’ and prayer ceremony to honor Perry’s spirit. Perry, who gained worldwide fame for his iconic role as Chandler Bing in the hit sitcom ‘Friends’, died at the property in October 2023.
Taking to Instagram, Lallian shared: “We are so excited to share that we bought a home in Los Angeles earlier this month! Our agent, Brooke Elliott-Laurinkus, said she had an amazing ‘off-market’ property that she really wanted us to see. 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 wrote in an Instagram post, along with pictures of the property.
”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,” she added.

”We chose to honour 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. We do plan to keep some of the design elements.

The house, built in 1965, measures 3,500-square-foot. It has four bedrooms, ocean views, wine storage and walls of glass.
