Hollywood Hills home for sale for $17,995,000 according to Zillow. It was also where Murphy was found, having collapsed on December 20, 2009. The unsuspecting actress was taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital, where she died later that day.
At the time, it was determined that Murphy died from a combination of pneumonia, anemia and prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
Murphy’s husband Simon Monjak was found dead in the same area 5 months after his wife’s death. He was 40 years old. The Los Angeles Coroner announced that Monjak died of the same causes as Murphy.
On the chilly morning of December 20, 2009, actress Brittany Murphy passed out in the bathroom of her Hollywood Hills home where she shared her mother, Sharon Murphy, and her husband of two years, Simon Monjack. “My daughter passed out,” her mother sobbed during the alarm call to 911. “She was dizzy, she couldn’t walk (…)
The property listing describes the home as “an architectural gem located in a desirable enclave of celebrity homes.” The listing also explains that the home “has undergone a complete metamorphosis, a testament to luxurious living and meticulous craftsmanship.”
The home, which was built in 1997, has 6 beds and 9 bathrooms in 9,400 square feet. When the Murphys bought the house, they weren’t the first celebrities to live within its walls.
The couple bought the house from Spears, the pop star and music icon, in 2003 for $3.85 million.
During her stay in the house, the “Toxic” singer claimed that she experienced supernatural experiences there.

In a 2021 episode of the We Need to Talk About Britney podcast, her former makeup artist Julianne Kaye described her experience with the singer.
“(Spears) had that place at Sunset Plaza — and I just want to say it’s really amazing … She calls me … I asked a friend of mine to treat her rails,” Kay said at the time. “He came up; I guess she had a crazy weekend and needed to relax. He left and she swears to God he opened some kind of spiritual portal or something and these evil spirits came in … and they tried to, like, push her down the stairs or something crazy.”
Kay said Spears never returned home after the experience, instead staying at the Casa Del Mar hotel.
“She’s like, ‘I know, you’re going to think I’m crazy.’ I’m not crazy. I know what I saw. I know what I felt,” Kaye added.
Murphy also reportedly felt uneasy about the property. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2010Monjak described in detail the discomfort of the actress with the house.
“She absolutely hated the Rising Glen house,” Monjack said. “Every time we pulled up to Sunset, Britt would say, ‘Can we stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel, please?’ I would say, “Honey, you have to be realistic. We have our own house, a 10,000 square foot house. We will stay in it.”
