Jim Carrey flies to Carlsbad the same week his Brentwood home sells at a steep discount

Jim Carrey flew from Van Nuys Airport to McClellan-Palomar Airport on May 12, a 44-minute hop covering roughly 80 miles. The Gulfstream V, tail N162JC, departed at 7:07 p.m. Pacific and touched down at 7:52 p.m., according to flight tracking data.

The same week, Carrey's Brentwood estate of nearly 30 years closed at $17 million, per property records cited by PEOPLE — a 41% discount from the original $28.9 million asking price when it listed in February 2023. The sale follows a series of price cuts that brought the 10,954-square-foot home down from $28.9 million to $21.9 million before the final deal. Carrey, who told Access Hollywood in 2022 he was taking a break from acting, has maintained a relatively low flight profile in recent months, with the aircraft making trips between Las Vegas, Denver, and the New York area before this short coastal move.

McClellan-Palomar serves the coastal San Diego area, a region Carrey has visited before. The brief flight — too short for any meaningful meeting — suggests a personal errand or a quiet retreat, consistent with the actor's reduced public schedule since selling his primary residence.
