A Los Angeles home with a macabre celebrity history is on the market for an exorbitant price tag. The former Hollywood Hills residence of the late actress Brittany Murphy, who died there at age 32 in December 2009, has been listed for $18 million, according to People. Five months after she passed away due to untreated pneumonia, Murphy’s late husband Simon Monjack was found dead at the property. The Clueless and 8 Mile star bought the home for $3.85 million in 2003 from Britney Spears, whose former makeup artist Julianne Kaye, said the singer left the home believing a reiki healer she used accidentally opened up “some spirit portal” that let in “bad spirits” that might “push her down the stairs or something crazy.” The home’s current owners bought it in 2020. The six-bedroom, nine-bathroom, 9,400 square-foot mansion has failed to sell upon listing several times in recent years, People said, including when it was listed for $19 million last year.
