#SHOWBIZ: Paris Hilton buys Mark Wahlberg's RM270mil mansion after losing home in LA wildfires
LOS ANGELES: Paris Hilton has reportedly purchased a luxurious Beverly Park mansion previously owned by actor Mark Wahlberg.
The acquisition follows the devastating loss of her Malibu home in the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year.
According to The Wall Street Journal and AsiaOne, the 44-year-old reality TV star, entrepreneur, and DJ acquired the expansive 2,833-square-metre estate for a reported US$63 million (RM269.51 million).
The grand 12-bedroom property boasts high-end features, including a wine cellar, his-and-hers bathrooms, a sweeping staircase, a library, and a state-of-the-art gym.
The lavish grounds offer a host of recreational amenities: a basketball court, a tennis court, a private skate park, a five-hole golf course with a driving range, and a resort-style swimming pool complete with waterslides.
Wahlberg and his wife, Rhea Durham, had sold the home for US$55 million (RM235.29 million) in February 2023.
Paris, who shares two children—Phoenix and London—with husband Carter Reum, has been searching for a new residence since her previous home was destroyed by fire.
At the time of the incident, she posted a heartfelt message on Instagram:
"Heartbroken beyond words. Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience. This home was where we built so many precious memories. It's where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London. We're in this together, LA. Hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight. You never know when everything could change."
With her new home, Hilton is now looking to rebuild those dreams and embark on a new chapter in her life.
