Fires in LA: Matthew Perry's former home under threat
Massive fires are ravaging several neighbourhoods in Los Angeles, and the media is full of reports about well-known individuals who have lost their homes. The fire also threatens the house in Pacific Palisades, where Matthew Perry passed away.
Since January 7th in Los Angeles, services have been battling a massive blaze that has consumed part of the city. As a result of the fires, thousands of properties have been reduced to ruins. Many have lost their homes, including well-known stars such as Anthony Hopkins, Anna Faris, Adam Brody, and Paris Hilton. The extent of the losses is still difficult to estimate, but social media is filled with accounts from celebrities who have lost their possessions. According to American media, the fire also threatened the estate of the late Matthew Perry, who passed away in 2023.
The house in Pacific Palisades, where Matthew Perry died in 2023, is threatened by the fire ravaging Los Angeles. The property was sold three months ago for $8.55 million to developer Anita Verma-Lallian.
Fire in Pacific Palisades
According to the Daily Mail, Perry's house is in danger. Anita Verma-Lallian confirmed on Instagram that her family is safe but did not disclose the condition of the property. The fire, driven by strong winds, is one of three currently devastating California.
The fire in Pacific Palisades began on Tuesday and is the most dangerous in this region's history. Other fires broke out in Eaton Canyon and San Fernando Valley. Firefighters have been unable to control the blaze, which has destroyed approximately 15,780 hectares and killed two people.
Perry's house, purchased in 2020 for $6 million, was renovated by the actor. It was his last place of residence. Let's remember that Perry was found unconscious in a bathtub at his Los Angeles home. His death was due to accidental drowning and coronary artery disease. However, subsequent tests revealed that Perry had been dosed with ketamine in the days leading to his death.
Us Weekly obtained messages exchanged between the actor's doctors. In September, Dr. Salvador Plasencia wrote to Dr. Mark Chavez that visiting Perry's home was like a "bad movie." In subsequent texts, the doctors said: "If today goes well, we may have repeat business" "Let's do everything we can to make it happen." In October, the month of Matthew's death, they were the sole providers of the star's lethal dose.
