Actress Angelina Jolie decided to sell her house in England, where she has lived for three years, to settle in California.

Jolie, 30, who recently moved in with Brad Pitt to his Hollywood mansion, just a few blocks away from Jennifer Aniston's house, with her adopted children Maddox, 3, and Zahara, her six-month-old Ethiopian daughter, decided to sell the house in England for £2.1million, claiming she would not be needing it anymore.

"Angelina has decided to give up her home in England and settle in California," a source told the News of the World. "And after finishing her latest movie she plans to take a year off".

After Angelina moved in with him, Pitt spent a fortune on making his home child-friendly, with child-proof locks on doors and safety covers on the mains sockets. And three weeks ago it was reported that Angelina's adopted son, Maddox, was already calling him daddy.

"Brad adores Angelina and the children and she thinks the world of Brad," the source added. "They make a perfect couple."
