Radio host Kyle Sandilands revealed on Monday he was worried about the security of his $5million mansion in Los Angeles, which he claimed had been ‘abandoned’ while he was stuck in Sydney during the COVID-19 pandemic.
But it seems that the ultra-modern home might not be completely deserted after all.
Photos obtained by Daily Mail Australia this week suggest the property is being rented out, as a bikini-clad mystery woman was seen sunbathing on the balcony.
Who’s that? A bikini-clad woman was spotted sunbathing on the balcony of Kyle Sandilands’ ‘abandoned’ $5million mansion in LA earlier this week. On Monday, the radio host said the property was just sitting there ‘full of money and gold’ because he couldn’t fly to America
The brunette was seen relaxing on a sunbed while hunched over and looking at her phone.
