The new owner of the home where Matthew Perry died will not remove a “Batman” logo the actor installed in the pool.
The Pacific Palisades house sold almost exactly one year after Perry died at the property on Oct. 28, 2023, fetching $8.5 million in an off-market deal, according to the New York Times.
In an Instagram post shared Thursday, Anita Verma-Lallian, a film producer and real estate developer, revealed she is the home’s new owner.
“We are so excited to share that we bought a home in Los Angeles earlier this month! Our agent, Brooke Elliot, said she had an amazing ‘off-market’ property that she really wanted us to see,” Verma-Lallian captioned her post.
Speaking about the home’s future, Verma-Lallian revealed that though she plans to make some changes to the property, they will not scrub the “Batman” logo from the pool.
“We do plan to keep some of the design elements. The batman logo in the pool is definitely staying,” she wrote, adding a laughing face emoji and a prayer hands emoji. “It’s a piece of paradise that is filled with light and the perfect vacation home for us. Can’t wait to make new memories in it.”
Verma-Lallian also shared that she fell in love with the house as soon as her agent showed it to her.
“The moment I walked into the home, I absolutely fell in love with the features, especially the view of the Pacific Ocean,” she said in the caption. “We knew it was ‘the one’ and decided to write an offer on it immediately.”
The movie producer added that the home’s connection to Perry’s passing did not impact her decision.
