Heartbreaking reason Christina Ricci is selling her LA home… after admitting divorce left her ‘really broke’

Christina Ricci has put her Silver Lake home for sale, with the asking price of $4.175 million.

However, it has been revealed that there’s a heartbreaking reason behind the sale, as the actress is needing to help one of her family members who lost their home to the LA fires, according to People.

The selling of the home also comes exactly a year after Ricci, 45, admitted that her divorce from James Heerdegen had left her ‘really broke’ and was forced to sell designer bags and jewelry. 

The actress referred to her situation at the time as ‘financial trauma.’ 

Meanwhile the listing agency for the home has confirmed that the star was looking for a bigger property to accommodate her displaced family member for the long term.

The LA Fires, which took place in January, destroyed over $30 million worth of rest estate – with 12,900 households displaced.

Over half of the structures in the Pacific Palisades burned down, and half of the homes in Altadena.

Christina’s home is listed by Compᴀss real estate agent Lorraine Getz, who told the outlet: ‘This property is truly one of a kind and homes like this don’t come along often, especially in Silverlake.

‘What makes this home so special is the attention to detail, from the thoughtful layout that maximizes light and space to the well-crafted floor plan.’

Christina’s LA-area home is 3,396 square feet with three bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The beautiful property has a rooftop deck, as well as a private deck on the ground floor, along with a huge balcony on the second floor.

The home sits above the Silver Lake Reservoir, with views of Downtown Los Angeles, as well as the mountains.

‘This home is all about the views – some of the best in Silver Lake! The rooftop deck takes it to another level,’ Lorraine told People.

Adding: ‘It’s perched high on a cul-de-sac for ultimate privacy, yet just at the end of the street, a hidden staircase connects you to Silver Lake’s best spots – amazing dining, coffee, and boutiques, all just moments away.’

The pool sits besides a spacious area where guests can relax and enjoy the city and mountain views.

The rooftop terrace is covered, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the city and nature landscape.

The second floor balcony is tiled with space for a couch and table – and a tiled staircase to go to the rooftop terrace.
