Jennifer Lawrence has splashed out $7 million on a new house.

The Hunger Games actress has forked out the seven-figure sum on a new five-bedroom Los Angeles abode which features its own home gym and gourmet kitchen, according to E! News.

But one of the previous owners was none other than Jessica Simpson, who bought the property in 2005 for $5.275 million.

The Dukes Of Hazard actress then sold the five-bedroom designer retreat for $6.4 million in 2013, which still netted her a profit of $1,125,000.

This comes after her new boyfriend Chris Martin also reportedly spent nearly $7 million on a new home in California opposite his ex Gwyneth Paltrow.

Her mother Blythe Danner is even said to have helped the 37-year-old singer move into his new plush pad, which features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms.

The Coldplay frontman's pals are said to approve of 24-year-old Lawrence - who was recently caught up in a hacking scandal when a number of naked pictures of her were published online - because they think the pair have a lot in common.

A source said: 'Although Jennifer is different from Gwyneth, both girls are earthy. They like to play and act silly at times.

'Chris is happy because he and Jennifer are on the same wavelength.

'They found each other when both needed someone new.'

Chris split from Gwyneth Paltrow in March after 10 years of marriage, while Jennifer was last dating Nicholas Hoult.

Meanwhile Jennifer's new Beverly Hills mansion was custom-built in 1991 with designing touches provided by Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic couture.
