Selena buys Petty mansion

Selena Gomez is the new owner of Tom Petty's former Encino, California mansion, according to property reports.

The pad was reportedly sold to a mystery buyer last month for $4.9 million, but it now appears Selena snapped up the place.

Petty rebuilt the sprawling three-storey home, which features six bedrooms, a recording studio, yoga space, game room, wine cellar, gym and massage room, after an arsonist burned down his previous home on the site.

Petty lived there with his first wife until their divorce in 1996. The late rocker then moved to Malibu, California, leaving his ex with the Encino house.

She moved out in 2015 and the pad has been sold two times since - its most recent owner was Grammy-winning music producer Randy Spendlove, according to Ultimate Classic Rock.

If the story checks out, Selena isn't the only modern pop star living in a late rock legend's former pad in the Los Angeles area - Lady Gaga owns Frank Zappa's former family compound.
