Jim Carrey returns to Van Nuys after a short Monterey getaway

Jim Carrey flew from Monterey Regional Airport (KMRY) to Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) on May 22, 2026, a brief 39-minute flight that covered roughly 230 miles. The Gulfstream V, tail number N162JC, climbed to 27,000 feet and reached 466 knots before touching down at his home base just after 10:29 a.m. local time.

The trip appears to be a routine return home. Monterey, a coastal city known for its aquarium and proximity to Big Sur, is a common leisure destination for Los Angeles residents. Carrey has no reported public appearances, film premieres or business meetings in the Los Angeles area this week, according to local event listings. The flight likely marks the end of a personal retreat, consistent with his reduced public profile since selling his Brentwood home last year.

Over the preceding days, Carrey’s jet had taken him from Cabo San Lucas to Los Angeles on May 17, then to Aspen and Denver on May 11, before a stop in Monterey on May 20. The Van Nuys airport remains his primary hub; his most frequent routes include Los Angeles to Hawaii, New York and Florida, per flight tracking data.
