Ellen DeGeneres buys Brad Pitt's former Malibu estate

(CBS) Ellen DeGeneres has bought Brad Pitt's former California home for $12 million, reports People.

The estate has a view of the Pacific Ocean with private beach access. The four-bedroom, fourth-bathroom home is made up of two separate houses and features a pool, tennis court and gardens.

Pitt bought the home shortly after he broke up with Jennifer Aniston. He lived there during his early days with Angelina Jolie, according to Radaronline.com.

DeGeneres and her wife, actress Portia De Rossi, put their 15,000-square foot Beverly Hills pad on the market last month for $49 million. Their new space is more than 10,000 square feet smaller.
