The new owner of the house where Matthew Perry passed away has decided to keep the 'Batman' logo that the actor had installed in the pool. The Pacific Palisades property, which sold for $8.5 million in an off-market deal, was sold almost exactly a year after Perry's death on October 28, 2023, as reported by the New York Times.

Anita Verma-Lallian, a film producer and real estate developer, revealed on Instagram that she is the new owner of the home. She expressed her excitement about the purchase, mentioning that her agent, Brooke Elliot, had shown her an amazing 'off-market' property.

Verma-Lallian plans to make some changes to the property but will not remove the 'Batman' logo from the pool. She shared, 'We do plan to keep some of the design elements. The batman logo in the pool is definitely staying,' accompanied by laughing and prayer hands emojis. She described the house as a piece of paradise filled with light, perfect for a vacation home, and is eager to create new memories there.

Verma-Lallian also shared that she fell in love with the house the moment she saw it, particularly the view of the Pacific Ocean. She emphasized that the home's connection to Perry's passing did not influence her decision to buy it. As a real estate developer, she believes every property has a history and carries the energy of its current owner. She conducted a Hindu blessing and prayer upon purchasing the home, honoring the positive aspects of Perry's life and his talent.

Perry had purchased the 3,500-square-foot home for $6 million in 2020 and renovated it shortly before his death. An insider revealed that Perry was incredibly happy in the house, referring to it as 'heaven.' His death was ruled an accidental drowning due to the acute effects of ketamine. On the one-year anniversary of his death, Perry's family, fans, co-stars, and former colleagues paid tribute to him, including Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, and Morgan Fairchild.

In August, five individuals were charged in connection with Perry's death, accused of helping him illegally obtain the ketamine that led to his demise. Among those indicted were Perry's former live-in assistant, two doctors, and a woman known as 'The Ketamine Queen.' Some of these individuals have accepted plea deals and are cooperating with federal authorities.
