Katy Perry Seeks $4.72 Million in Montecito House Damages as Seller Presses $6 Million Claim

The case now centers on competing damages claims following a ruling that upheld the 2020 sale.

Overview

  • Perry’s Nov. 21 filing asks for $4,718,698.95 in damages, citing $3,525,000 in lost rental value and $1,343,401.95 in repairs, minus a $149,703 offset.
  • Westcott’s Nov. 7 filing asserts Perry still owes $6 million of the $15 million purchase price, netting to $5,740,418.18 after repair deductions.
  • A May 2024 court decision rejected Westcott’s incapacity claim and confirmed Perry’s ownership of the property.
  • Perry testified by Zoom in Los Angeles in August, saying she sought “justice” in response to questions about the lawsuit’s stakes.
  • The dispute stems from Perry and Orlando Bloom’s $15 million purchase of the Montecito estate in 2020, which Westcott tried to rescind days after the sale.
