The Hollywood Hills home is listed for $17,995,000. according to Zillow. It was also the site where Murphy was found collapsed on December 20, 2009. The Clueless actress was later taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital, where she died the same day.
At that time, it was discovered that Murphy died due to a combination of pneumonia, anemia, and prescription and over-the-counter medications.
Murphy’s husband, Simon Monjack, was found dead at the same property 5 months after his wife’s death. He was 40 years old. The Los Angeles coroner announced that Monjack died of similar causes to Murphy’s.
On the cool morning of December 20, 2009, actress Brittany Murphy collapsed unconscious in the master bathroom of her Hollywood Hills home, where she lived with her mother, Sharon Murphy, and her husband of two years, Simon Monjack. “My daughter has fainted,” her mother sobbed in the disturbing 911 call. “She was dizzy, she couldn’t walk (…)
In the home’s real estate listing, it is described as an “architectural gem, located within a coveted enclave of celebrity homes.” The listing also explains that the house “has undergone a complete metamorphosis, emerging as a testament to luxurious living and meticulous craftsmanship.”

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 in Sunset Plaza, and I’m just going to say, this is really weird… She calls me… I had my friend do reiki healing on her,” Kaye said at the time. “He had gone up; I guess he had had a crazy party weekend and needed to relax. “He left, and she swears to God that he opened some spiritual portal or something, and these evil spirits had come in… and they were trying to push her down the stairs or something crazy.”
Kaye said that after that experience, Spears never returned to the house and instead stayed at the Casa Del Mar hotel.
“She says, ‘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 was also reported to be uncomfortable with the property. In a 2010 interview with The Hollywood ReporterMonjack detailed the actress’ discomfort with home.
“She absolutely hated the Rising Glen house,” Monjack told the outlet. “Every time we went to Sunset, Brit would say, ‘Please, can we stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel?’ I would say, ‘Honey, you have to be realistic.’ We have our house, a 10,000 square foot house. We’re going to stay at it.’”
