Regis Philbin's house in Connecticut sold for $4million shortly before the TV show's death in July 2020. Take a look inside
Stars including Kelly Ripa and Kathie Lee Gifford were among those who paid tribute to Regis Philbin following his death at the age of 88 back in July.
The popular TV show host passed away after he suffered a heart attack, and what makes the news even more devastating is the revelation that he and his wife Joy had recently sold their $4.015million (£3.07million) mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut, in order to move to California to be closer to their children.

Regis often joked about his home life on his morning TV show, Live!, telling viewers that his lack of home improvement skills meant it was often up to his wife Joy to get jobs done around the house.
When they put the property up for sale in 2019, Joy, who was once an interior designer, told the Wall Street Journal: "We've moved around a lot and lived in many houses together but this house will always be our favourite.
"We celebrated many birthdays and holidays and never had to worry about inviting too many of our family and friends. There was always room for everyone."
