Court Awards Katy Perry About €1.6 Million in Montecito Villa Dispute

The ruling reflects a net calculation that offsets her claimed losses with the seller’s demands.

Overview

  • A court granted Perry nearly €1.6 million in damages in her long-running fight over a Montecito estate formerly owned by Carl Westcott.
  • The decision follows her recent filing seeking just over €4 million based on lost rental value and necessary repairs.
  • Judges had already awarded her title to the property in May 2024 after finding no convincing evidence that Westcott lacked capacity when he sold it.
  • The awarded figure was set after the court netted competing monetary claims from both sides.
  • Perry and Orlando Bloom purchased the Santa Barbara–area property in 2020, and the case has unfolded over several years since that sale.
