The Los Angeles home previously owned by late attorney Robert Kardashian that was used as a hideaway for Pro Football Hall of Famer O.J. Simpson during his 1994 arrest has been sold for millions, TMZ Sports reports.

The six-bedroom, nine-bathroom Encino, California, home was listed by comedian Russell Peters and sold for $5.1 million in late December. Simpson used the San Fernando Valley mansion to lay low before the infamous police chase in which he was driven by his longtime friend Al Cowlings in a Ford Bronco down Interstate 5 prior to surrendering to police at his Brentwood home.

Kardashian, a longtime friend who was one of several attorneys that represented Simpson in his murder trial prior to his own death in 2003, was the father of Keeping Up With the Kardashian stars Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Robert Kardashian Jr. and the ex-husband of their mother and manager Kris Jenner. Simpson was found "not guilty" for the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in his highly publicized 1995 trial, despite being later unanimously found liable in a civil trial for the wrongful death of and battery against Goldman and battery against Brown two years later.

Last June, the FBI publicly released nearly 1,000 pages of documents related to the murder investigation. Simpson's 1995 murder trial and 2008 prison sentence for armed robbery and kidnapping have overshadowed a Hall of Fame football and acting post-retirement acting careers, which he has unsuccessfully attempted to restore though his social media presence, launching his X account just over a year after being released from jail on parole.

Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in prison with the possibility of (granted) parole after nine years on charges of kidnapping and armed robbery. Simpson's official cause of death was determined to be prostate cancer, his longtime attorney, Malcolm LaVergne revealed to TMZ Sports on April 26.

LaVergne, the executor of Simpson's estate, said he received the former NFL MVP's death certificate and confirmed that the previously unspecified cancer diagnosis was of the prostate form. Simpson's family revealed his death in a statement shared on his X account on April 11.
