    The Los Angeles residence where “Friends” actor Matthew Perry passed away last year is now in the hands of a new owner.

    The home quietly sold for $8.5 million in an off-market deal, according to the New York Times .

    The property’s new owner, Arizona real estate developer and producer Anita Verma-Lallian, closed the transaction via a trust, represented by Brooke Elliott Laurinkus of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California.

    Perry, best known as Chandler Bing on the still-popular NBC series, was 54 when he was discovered unresponsive in the hot tub of his Pacific Palisades estate in October 2023.

    While his death was initially ruled a drowning, a subsequent report by the Los Angeles County medical examiner attributed his death to “acute effects of ketamine,” with traces of opioids also found in his system.

    In August, five people, including his personal assistant and two doctors, were charged with allegedly supplying the ketamine involved.

    The 3,500-square-foot, midcentury-modern dwelling was built in 1965 and extensively renovated by Perry after he purchased it for $6 million in 2020.

    Known for his love of Batman, Perry added a personal touch to the home’s luxurious design, featuring a custom red LED bat signal at the bottom of the pool, which he proudly displayed on social media.

    Verma-Lallian, the founder and CEO of Arizona Land Consulting, has been actively expanding her portfolio in recent months with several high-value acquisitions across Arizona.

    Her company recently closed a $20 million deal for 131 acres in Buckeye, along with a $40 million purchase of 600 acres in Casa Grande. Additionally, Verma-Lallian’s firm made headlines in August after selling a 2,100-acre site for $160 million, a significant profit from its $40 million acquisition in 2022.

    Representing Perry’s estate was Greg Holcombe of Carolwood Estates.
