Fans have noticed a devastating detail in photos posted in Matthew Perry’s Los Angeles home by its new owner.
It has been over a year since it was announced that the former Friends star had tragically passed away after emergency responders discovered the 54-year-old unresponsive at his Los Angeles residence.
Authorities arrived at the scene around 4:00PM, revealing that Perry was found in an unresponsive state in a hot tub and they were not able to resuscitate him.
Since then, Perry’s home was put on the market and it has now been officially bought by real estate developer Anita Verma-Lallian.
The 42-year-old took to Instagram earlier this week to gush about her latest purchase, stating: “We are so excited to share that we bought a home in Los Angeles…”
She continued, noting that this home was originally listed as “off-market”.
“The moment I walked into the home, I absolutely fell in love with the features, especially the view of the Pacific Ocean. We knew it was ‘the one’ and decided to write an offer on it immediately,” she wrote, alongside some shots of the outside residence including the infinity pool where Perry was reportedly found.
The pictures show off a beautiful landscape, but fans couldn’t help but comment on the heartbreaking detail that the new owners would be keeping Perry’s Batman logo in his pool as a tribute to the late actor.
“We chose to honor the positive aspects of the previous owner’s life, his immense talent, and all the joy he brought to so many people,” she added in the post, emphasizing that she wanted to keep the Batman logo in the pool.
Perry was a huge fan of the Batman franchise, and shared multiple posts about the superhero in the days prior to his death – often referring to himself as “Mattman”.
“Congratulations! It’s so cool to hear that you are keeping the Batman sign in the pool. It is a great tribute to Matt. Enjoy the new home,” wrote one user.
Another added: “This is so beautiful thank you for sharing and I love that you honored the previous owner. I always say blessings and grace and thank you to my amazing previous owners who passed their beautiful properties onto me. I’m always sending them prayers of gratitude.”
A third said: “Thanks for explaining all of that! It’s comforting to know. RIP MP.”
“Congratulations! I think Mathew would be very happy to know his Batman logo will be staying,” and a fourth wrote.

The news comes after an investigation into the actor’s death led to the conclusion that Perry succumbed to “the acute effects of ketamine” while further details revealed that he had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety before his passing.
The medical examiner ruled the manner of death as an accident, noting that “high levels of ketamine [were] found in his postmortem blood specimens.”
Drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine were also listed as contributing factors.
An investigation later unearthed a disturbing drug ring surrounding the 17 Again star – leading to the arrests of five individuals; Dr. Salvador Plasencia, Dr. Mark Chavez, Jasveen Sangha, Kenneth Iwamasa, and Erik Fleming.
It was reported that those who had been arrested “took advantage” of Perry’s vulnerability and knew of his addiction issues while supplying him with lethal doses of the drug.
Since then, Dr. Mark Chavez signed a plea agreement with prosecutors in August and appeared in court on Wednesday (October 2) to officially plead guilty to one charge of illegally distributing ketamine to Perry.
