Anita Lallian, a prominent Indian-origin real estate developer and film producer, has recently purchased the Pacific Palisades home where the beloved "Friends" star Matthew Perry tragically passed away. The property, valued at $8.55 million, captivated Lallian with its stunning mid-century modern design and spectacular ocean views. However, Lallian made it clear that her decision to buy the house was driven by her admiration for the home itself rather than the tragic event that occurred there.
Lallian, who has a deep belief in the energy and stories that homes carry, expressed her desire to honor the house's past while making it her own. In keeping with her cultural traditions, she and her family performed a ritualistic puja ceremony before moving in, inviting a pandit from Arizona to bless the home. The ceremony, a significant part of Hindu customs when entering a new home, was a way for Lallian to ensure positive energy and blessings in their new space.
While Lallian fell in love with the home’s architecture, she also decided to preserve parts of it that paid homage to Perry's legacy. One of the most notable features she plans to keep is the Batman logo that Perry had added to the pool—a fun tribute to his playful spirit.
The 3,500-square-foot home features four bedrooms, wine storage, and an open floor plan that seamlessly blends with the outdoors. Lallian described the house as “the one” for her family, and they are excited to create their own memories in this stunning location.
Matthew Perry, best known for his role as Chandler Bing on Friends, tragically passed away in October 2023 at the age of 54. While the circumstances of his death were shocking, the joy and laughter he brought to millions of fans around the world will never be forgotten. By honoring Perry’s home and his legacy, Lallian and her family are paying tribute to a cherished actor whose impact on pop culture will endure.
