Austin Butler has closed on Brad Pitt’s Los Angeles home, paying $5.2 million for Pitt’s Los Feliz property, according to real estate sources cited by TMZ and Page Six. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house spans roughly 2,000 square feet and includes features such as solar panels and an outdoor pool, a listing described in coverage of the deal. The sale follows Pitt’s estate being burglarized in June, when three suspects allegedly scaled a fence and entered through a front window while Pitt was away promoting his film F1. An LAPD spokesperson said the burglars fled with an unknown amount of items, and Pitt was not at home at the time of the break-in.
The sale arrives amid a broader move by Pitt in the Los Angeles market and a wave of high-profile real estate activity among celebrities. The Post reported earlier this month that Pitt purchased a new Hollywood Hills estate for about $12 million, a purchase that a source said was driven in part by the property’s security features. Pitt’s aim, the outlet noted, was to secure privacy and robust protection as part of his home environment.
In a prior Los Feliz chapter, Pitt acquired the property known as “The Steel House” in 2023 for $5.5 million from Aileen Getty, in a star-studded swap that also involved Getty purchasing Pitt’s previous home in the same area for $33 million. Butler’s new home remains anchored in the same Los Feliz neighborhood, a short distance from where Pitt’s estate sits and near other celebrity-owned properties.
Butler’s three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence totals just over 2,000 square feet and includes a built-in sauna, a generous outdoor area with a pool, and solar panels. The purchase marks another notable move in Butler’s real estate timeline, following public attention on his career since starring in Elvis and continuing work on upcoming projects. While a representative for Butler did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment on the purchase, the deal has circulated in industry coverage and real estate reports.
As for Pitt, The Post confirmed earlier in September that he purchased a $12 million Hollywood Hills estate featuring six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a theater, a fire pit, and a pool, with security upgrades described as a central draw for the buyer. The property’s 8,385 square feet of living space and its security framework have been highlighted by sources as part of Pitt’s ongoing effort to balance privacy with a high-profile lifestyle. A separate report noted that the Keuning family previously owned the property, with Pitt’s choice underscoring a broader emphasis on protective measures in celebrity housing.
The latest real estate moves reflect a broader pattern in Hollywood where high-net-worth actors rotate among homes in Los Angeles, often prioritizing security, privacy, and lifestyle amenities. In Butler’s case, the Los Feliz purchase brings a stylish, compact home into his portfolio, complementing a career that continues to place him among the industry’s most-watched young stars. In Pitt’s case, the acquisitions signal a continued commitment to reconfiguring living spaces in response to security considerations and evolving personal preferences, as the actor’s touring and public appearances keep him in the limelight.
Images placed here illustrate the kind of properties drawing attention in Los Angeles’ celebrity-heavy real estate scene and underscore the evolving privacy and security considerations that accompany high-profile ownership of historic, architecturally significant homes. The Los Feliz neighborhood, the Hollywood Hills, and surrounding enclaves remain a focal point for star-driven property activity, even as individual buyers differ in scale and intent.
