The Los Angeles home where Matthew Perry died has sold for $8.55 million, PEOPLE can confirm.

The home was purchased by Perry for $6 million in 2020, per the outlet.

Perry died at the age of 54 from acute effects of the prescription drug ketamine, according to an autopsy report obtained by PEOPLE in December 2023. He was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his L.A. home.

At the time of his death, a source told PEOPLE exclusively that the beloved actor had just made renovations to the house and that he "was incredibly happy" there. Perry referred to his home as “heaven,” the source added.

Another home belonging to the actor, located in Hollywood Hills, was listed for sale in May 2024 for $5.2 million. Property records indicate that it was purchased in June 2023, just four months before Perry’s death.
