The ground floor two-bed unit is part of a development built in the 1970s. Although it boasts a gym, outdoor pools and hot tubs it is nothing like the $8.45million six-bed home in star-studded Brentwood that Ricki sold in 2014.

Lake has been getting in shape to make a comeback on British TV talent show Shine later this month. The star’s income has paled in comparison to her 1990s heyday, and her last proper movie role was in a 2007 remake of her first movie, Hairspray. A reboot of her talk show ended in 2012.
