Perry, who died over the weekend, had a number of home sales that saw him trade mansions for a modest home as he grappled with demons and his quest for love.
Beloved “Friends” star Matthew Perry left a lasting mark both on and off screen — and it turns out that in his final years, the actor was undergoing a major life transformation.
Perry, who passed away at the age of 54 this past weekend, had a rollercoaster ride of real-estate dealings that saw him trade sprawling mansions for a more modest cottage, just as he grappled with his demons and the quest for love.
As the world still mourns his loss, insiders have revealed that Perry was battling a profound sense of loneliness in the years leading up to his demise.
“He had a heart of gold and was doing his best to help others, but there was a loneliness there. He spent most of his days in his home and was very lonely,” a source shared.
In the summer of 2020, smack in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Perry snagged a cozy 3,000-square-foot cottage in Los Angeles for $6 million.
This downsizing endeavor was a stark departure from his previous Malibu abode, a sprawling 5,500-square-foot oceanfront property, which he listed around the same time he acquired the cottage.
The Malibu mansion ultimately sold for $13.1 million around this time three years ago.
