Anita Lallian, a notable real estate developer and film producer of Indian descent, has purchased the late Matthew Perry’s Pacific Palisades home for $8.55 million. She expressed her excitement for the property’s luxurious features and ocean views, emphasizing her desire to honor Perry’s legacy. In an Instagram post, Lallian clarified that her admiration for the house motivated her purchase, not its history. Before moving in, she and her family held a traditional ‘puja’ ceremony to pay tribute to the actor. Lallian was captivated by the home during her visit, leading her to make a swift offer, and she acknowledged the importance of a property’s history and the energy each owner brings. She also highlighted the significance of performing a blessing when acquiring a new home, thanking their Panditji from Arizona for the ceremony.
The real estate developer plans to preserve certain elements of the late ‘Friends’ star’s legacy, particularly the Batman logo in the pool area, to honor his talent and the joy he brought to many. The decision to buy the property was based on admiration for the home itself, not its former occupant. Some design features, including the Batman logo, will be retained. The midcentury modern residence, built in 1965, spans 3,500 square feet and includes four bedrooms, ocean views, and expansive glass walls. Matthew Perry purchased the property in 2020 for $6 million.Perry, known for his role as Chandler Bing in ‘Friends’, passed away last October at 54, found unresponsive in his hot tub. His death was ruled an accidental drowning, with ketamine contributing to the incident.
