Austin Butler buys Brad Pitt’s LA home for $5.2M after it was ‘ransacked’ by burglars
Hollywood star Austin Butler just snapped up a stunning Los Angeles property from none other than Brad Pitt. The “Elvis” actor, who’s 34, closed the deal on the historic Los Feliz home last Friday for $5.2 million, according to real estate insiders speaking to TMZ. It’s a cool upgrade for Butler, who shares the screen with Pitt in the upcoming “F1” movie.
This sale hits close to home—literally—after thieves targeted the property just three months ago. Back in late June, burglars scaled a fence, smashed a front window, and ransacked the place, grabbing an unknown haul of items. Lucky for Pitt, he wasn’t there; the 61-year-old was busy promoting “F1” on a whirlwind press tour in New York, Mexico, and London. LAPD confirmed the break-in at the time, but no arrests have been made yet.
Pitt originally bought this gem, nicknamed “The Steel House,” in April 2023 for $5.5 million. He traded it in a high-profile swap with oil heiress Aileen Getty—she got his old Los Feliz spot for a whopping $33 million. The L-shaped house packs serious perks: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, over 2,000 square feet of space, solar panels, a built-in sauna, and a big outdoor pool. It’s the kind of luxe LA real estate that screams celebrity living.
Meanwhile, Pitt isn’t slowing down on the house hunt. Earlier this month, we confirmed he dropped $12 million on a new Hollywood Hills estate. This Spanish-style mansion spans 8,385 square feet with six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a theater, fire pit, and pool. But what really sealed the deal? Top-notch security features. A source told us Pitt has always prioritized safety, especially after that burglary scare. “He wanted a spot with optimal security and privacy—this one stood out,” they said. The home used to belong to The Killers guitarist Dave Keuning and his wife, Emilie.
From “Bullet Train” action to real-life home drama, these Hollywood heavyweights keep things exciting. Butler’s move into Pitt’s old pad adds a fun twist to their co-star connection—wonder what stories these walls have now?
