Ryan Seacrest is bidding his final farewell to Los Angeles, because he just unloaded his last big property there ... selling the mansion he once acquired from Ellen DeGeneres.
Real estate sources tell TMZ ... Ryan just closed on the sale of his sprawling Bev Hills estate for $51 million.
TMZ broke the story ... Ryan originally put the home on the market back in November 2020, when he was seeking $85 million. The property didn't sell ... so Ryan put it back on the market earlier this year for $69 million.
The resort-like compound is palatial ... 5 structures set between water features and gardens ... the main house is 9,000 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 6 baths and a gourmet chef's kitchen with an opening to an outdoor pizza oven.
The place is decked out with a movie theater, world-class gym, spa and a master suite with a private meditation garden. There's also a super cool lounge/bar, plus a living room with 22-foot high ceilings.
There are spectacular views of L.A. from all over the property, especially from the pool and the teak pool house.
How's this for homeowner history ... Ryan bought it from Ellen for $36.5 million back in 2012, and she bought it from "Will & Grace" creator Max Mutchnick.
Ryan's getting out of L.A. real estate it appears ... these days he's living in New York, where he co-hosts "Live with Kelly and Ryan."
Uber-successful realtor Kurt Rappaport held the listing.

Bravo also shot Bobby's 2005 reality show, "Being Bobby Brown," at the GA property ... so the home's got some screen time under its belt, too.

Jeff Bezos Sued Ex-Housekeeper Claims Racial Bias ... Source Says She's Full of It
11:36 AM PT -- A source close to the couple tells us Wedaa had access to multiple restrooms and 2 breakrooms that were not only stocked with food -- but included air fryers and coffee machines. We're told when Jeff and Lauren were not home, staffers also had access to the family kitchen.
11:36 PM PT -- The source tells us Wedaa was well compensated, and worked largely unsupervised, though we're told at least one of her supervisors was also Hispanic.
11:36 AM PT -- Interestingly enough, another source says Wedaa's daughter was very recently, or still could be an employee at the home.
Jeff Bezos is going to court because one of his former housekeepers claims he racially discriminated against her, and forced her to work under conditions so bad ... just going to the bathroom was a nightmare.
According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Mercedes Wedaa says Bezos' team allegedly treated her and other Hispanic cleaning staff members much differently compared to the white employees ... claiming his household manager was "aggressive and abusive" to her, while being "respectful and polite" to the white staff.
Wedaa, who began working at Bezos' Seattle mansion back in 2019, claims she would often work 10-14 hour shifts, but was unable to take a break while Bezos and his family were on-property.
She claims she wasn't allowed to enter the home unless actively cleaning ... which is where going to the bathroom became a major issue.
According to the docs, Wedaa and other housekeepers "were forced to climb out of the laundry room window to the outside. Then run along the path to the mechanical room, through the mechanical room and downstairs to a bathroom.”
Wedaa's now seeking damages from Bezos and 2 companies that manage his properties.
Bezos' attorney, Harry Korrell, tells TMZ, "We have investigated the claims, and they lack merit. Ms. Wedaa made over six figures annually and was the lead housekeeper. She was responsible for her own break and meal times, and there were several bathrooms and breakrooms available to her and other staff."
He continues, "The evidence will show that Ms. Wedaa was terminated for performance reasons. She initially demanded over $9M, and when the company refused, she decided to file this suit. Given their backgrounds, the suggestion that Mr. Bezos, Ms. Sanchez, or Northwestern LLC discriminated against Ms. Wedaa based on her race or national origin is absurd."

"Stranger Things" fans can now live out their worst nightmares -- the infamous Creel House in the hit series has hit the market.
The iconic haunted house, which is home to the Creel family and Vecna's lair in the Upside Down in Season 4, is now up for grabs in Rome, GA ... and it's listed for $1.5 million.
The home was purchased in 2019 for a mere $350k, but it's been restored to its original form and it has quite the history ... from the show and in real life.
The main house is 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and was originally built in 1882 ... that alone makes it a landmark. The estate was once a very successful bed and breakfast. There's a separate guest house in the backyard of the one-acre lot.
We're told producers of the show were looking for a Victorian-style "haunted house," and reached out to the owner in July 2019 to seal the deal for filming there.
They used exterior shots of the home and some of the interior ... but the house was also recreated on a sound stage near Atlanta.
We are told the owners of the home love it, but wanted to test the market for interest, considering all of the "Stranger Things" hype.
Jeb Arp, Katie Gettis Edwards and Mimi Richards of Toles, Temple & Wright Inc. hold the listing.

Why Don't We band member Daniel Seavey is pretty much on the same page with his obsessed fan ... whom cops said broke into his home months ago ... because she's agreed to a 2-year extension of his TRO stopping her from coming near the singer.
According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the trespasser -- Eissa Amira -- gave her signoff Friday for the extension. The order's now set to expire in October 2024.
As we reported, Daniel's order requires her to remain 100 yards from him and his home ... this coming after the 23-year-old snuck into his house through an open window last July and stayed the night ... sleeping in his bed and wearing his clothes.

Daniel got a TRO back in August, and the L.A. City Attorney ended up charging her with 2 counts of trespassing last month.

Paul Pelosi Attacked by Man with Hammer During Home Break-In
10:38 AM PT -- SFPD Chief William Scott says when cops arrived they saw Paul and the suspect, David Depape, fighting over a hammer, the suspect struck Paul with the weapon.
Officers then tackled DePape, and both men ended up needing medical treatment. DePape's been charged with attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse and burglary.
DePape's social media show he's posted about the election being stolen, false claims about COVID vaccine dangers and criticizing the conviction of Derek Chauvin for George Floyd's murder.
10:02 AM PT -- Video from the Pelosi house shows a smashed back window -- presumably how the man made his way inside.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, is hospitalized after a hammer-wielding attacker allegedly broke into the Pelosi home.
The incident went down Friday morning in San Francisco, according to Speaker Pelosi's spokesman, who says the alleged attacker "violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi" after breaking into the house. It's unclear exactly what Paul's injuries are, but he had to be rushed to a hospital.
The suspect did not escape.
Pelosi's spokesman says, "The Assailant is in custody and the motivation for the attack is under investigation." He adds that Paul is still in the hospital for treatment, and is "expected to make a full recovery."
CNN first reported the alleged attacker used a hammer during the assault.
Speaker Pelosi wasn't in the home during the incident, and we don't know if this was a targeted attack.
It's been a rough couple of months for Paul -- he pled guilty to DUI in August ... receiving a sentence of 3 years probation and 5 days jail time, with 4 days of credit for time served.
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: @SpeakerPelosi’s house VANDALIZED with red paint, PIGS HEAD & spray-painted message “$2K (crossed out)... CANCEL RENT... WE WANT EVERYTHING”. City called to clean up at 3am & police attempting to stop photos of scene. Media SILENT. pic.twitter.com/LD1jfZIvco

As we reported, somebody left Rep. Pelosi a very disturbing message at her SF home back in 2021 ... spray-painting "Cancel Rent!" and "We Want Everything" in big black letters on her door. Also, what looks like a pig's head and fake blood were also staged in front of her garage.
So, the Pelosi home, at least, has been a target in the past.

The home where Elvis and Priscilla Presley honeymooned looks like it's about to get a new owner ... someone willing to pay a pretty penny to live like the King of Rock and Roll.
Our real estate sources tell us an offer's been accepted for the Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway in Palm Springs.
The crib hit the market earlier this month with a $5.65 million listing price, and we're told the seller accepted an offer Thursday, though the sale is not yet complete.
The 4-bedroom home is famous because Elvis leased it in 1966 for a whole year, which set him back $21,000 -- ridiculously cheap for 2022, but in '66 that was a small fortune.
Elvis and Priscilla were supposed to tie the knot at the property on May 1, 1967 ... but after the press got wind of the wedding plan, Elvis and Priscilla changed course and went to Sin City for a classic Vegas wedding.
The house has a ton of history -- Elvis and Priscilla were, umm ... busy in Palm Springs because exactly 9 months after their wedding, Lisa Marie Presley was born. That's some honeymoon!
The 4,695 square foot home features rock walls, a floating fireplace and terrazzo flooring ... and like any good desert home, there's a huge backyard pool with a view of the mountains.
Famously dubbed the "House of Tomorrow," the property is a PS landmark ... it's known to draw Elvis fanatics, tourists and architecture aficionados.
Marc Sanders of Compass had the listing.
