The Mr. & Mrs. Smith actress, who is said to have spent £19million ($25million) on the Hollywood mansion she currently lives in, told British Vogue: "I wanted it to be close to their dad, who is only five minutes away."

The six-bedroom, ten-bathroom property is situated on a 2.1-acre estate in the gated community of Laughlin Park, boasting panoramic views across the famous Griffith Observatory and Pacific Ocean.

Features include an outdoor swimming pool, a home gym, a tea house, a wine cellar and huge landscaped gardens. Angelina added: "I love most that there is no entertainment room, but lots of pathways and places to walk and think."

The Hollywood actress is accusing the star of drunkenly assaulting her and their children, who were between the ages of eight and 15 at the time, during a private plane flight in 2016.

At the time, the FBI confirmed they were investigating Brad for alleged child abuse following an incident on the family’s private jet - but the star was later cleared of all charges.
