“Brad Pitt has reportedly added to his massive real estate empire by purchasing a $12 million Hollywood Hills mansion from Dave Keuning – the lead guitarist of the rock band The Killers.”, — write: www.dailymail.co.uk
The 61-year-old Oscar winner closed the deal on the Spanish-style abode earlier this month on August 5 – the same day that his mother Jane Etta Pitt passed away at the age of 84.
The Fight Club actor was able to acquire the house for lower than the asking price, which Dave and wife Emilie had initially listed on the market for $13.99 million back in June, per the Wall Street Journal.
The big purchase comes just two months after Brad’s home located in Los Feliz was broken into in June – with three suspects recently being arrested.
The star’s new Hollywood Hills mansion consists of six bedrooms as well as eight bathrooms.
Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Brad who declined comment.
The house is located in the Outpost Estates community and offers scenic views of the bustling city of Los Angeles as well as the Pacific Ocean.
The kitchen has up-to-date appliances and a modern design with marble countertops and backsplash.
A spacious island is located in the middle of the kitchen – which also leads to an open living room area.
The second level of the house contains a large balcony that also looks down at the backyard, where residents can spend time by the outdoor swimming pool.
When not taking a dip in the cool water, there is also a designated barbeque and kitchen area outside, as well as a comfy couch and lounge chairs.
A brick pathway leads to the front entrance of the mansion – which was built back in 1989 and is 8,385 square feet.
Some rooms inside the abode contain arched ceilings while one of the bathrooms also has marble finishings for a glamorous touch.
The estate additionally has wooden flooring and an arched hallway that leads to the open living room and fireplace.
Brad has previously purchased and sold other homes in the Los Angeles area – such as in 2023 when he sold his $33 million Los Feliz mansion to Aileen Getty.
The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor then went on to buy a $5.5 million house in the same neighborhood.
Back in 2023, Daily Mail revealed that the star has been involved in around $72 million in real estate deals at the time.
Brad – who is the ex-husband of Angelina Jolie – has also been spending time at his $40 million love nest located in Carmel, California with girlfriend Ines de Ramon.
A local to the area told Daily Mail in June, ‘Brad and Ines sightings in Carmel are regular.
‘They hit the fancy restaurants and shop at boutiques like Tancredi & Morgen just like all the locals. Brad has been seen with a hat and sunglasses on at Nielsen Brothers Market.’
The source added, ‘No one hassles celebrities here because the locals don’t like to make a fuss, they think approaching a celebrity is classless. So Brad and Ines get their space.’
The beach city of Carmel is located just south of Santa Cruz – and is also known as Carmel-by-the-Sea.
In late June, Brad’s $5.5 million Los Feliz abode was broken into and burglarized by thieves.
At the time of the incident, the actor had been on a press tour in Japan to promote his new F1 movie.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that three people suspected of burglarizing the star’s home had been taken into custody, according to NBC LA.
Other celebrities that have also been targets in criminal schemes throughout the L.A. area include Jennifer Aniston, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, as well as Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Brad’s mother Jane Etta Pitt had reportedly passed away.
The actor’s family confirmed Jane’s death in a social media post shared on August 6 but a public obituary claimed that she actually died on August 5 at the age of 84.
Only weeks before the announcement of his mother’s death, Brad had given a sweet shoutout to Jane while promoting his F1 movie.
During an appearance on the Today show in June, the actor told host Savannah Guthrie, ‘I’ve got to say hi to my mom because she watches you every morning.’
The star flashed a big smile on his face before waving to his mom. He then blew a kiss towards the camera and added, ‘To Jane Pitt. Love you, Mom.’
Jane was born on August 13, 1940 in the city of Memphis and later settled in Springfield, Missouri with husband William ‘Bill’ Pitt.
Before her passing, she had been a retired school counselor and former elementary school teacher.
A ‘private Celebration of Life will be held at a future date to honor Jane’s remarkable life,’ the public obit stated.
Jane is survived by husband William Alvin Pitt, three children and 14 grandchildren.
Brad is father to Shiloh, 19, twins Vivienne and Knox, 17, and three adopted children Maddox, 24, Pax, 21 and Zahara, 20 – whom he shares with ex-wife Angelina.
The Oscar winner has also been busy filming his upcoming project The Continuing Adventures Of Cliff Booth.
The upcoming movie is a sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
However, the filmmaker is not working on the follow-up and instead David Fincher is directing the Netflix project.
