She spends most of her time living in a $57 million Los Angeles mansion with husband Patrick.
But Pia Whitesell returned to her roots on Thursday as she arrived back in her old stomping ground of Bondi.
Fresh from an international flight, the former Home and Away actress, 42, looked impossibly chic as she carried a $2,320 Rimowa suitcase down the footpath.
Pia sported a white singlet, loose-fitting jeans and brown sneakers, while shielding her face beneath a brown baseball cap and sunglasses.
For accessories, the mother-of-two wore layered gold pendant necklaces, a Patek Philippe Nautilus gold and diamond watch worth $250,000, and her diamond engagement ring rumoured to be worth $1.9 million.
Pia also clutched a brown suede bag from The Row, which retails for $12,330.

She wore her luscious chestnut locks out in natural waves and sported a full face of makeup including blush and pink lipstick.
Her multimillionaire talent agent husband, 61, is believed to have remained in the US.
Pia is known to travel between America and Australia, having last visited Down Under in January to attend the Australian Open men's quarter-final at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.
The model looked glamorous in an understated Miu Miu ensemble and over $2 million dollars worth of jewels.
She accessorised with snakeskin Roger Vivier stilettos, a leather belt, and a black suede Celine bag.
Pia's career skyrocketed in 2014 when she landed the role of Kat Chapman on Home and Away.
She went public with her relationship with Patrick Whitesell in late 2019, before the pair secretly tied the knot in 2021.
Patrick is the executive chairman of William Morris Endeavor and is considered one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood, with clients including Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale, and Ben Affleck.

Pia and Patrick secretly wed in 2021, and she then moved to Los Angeles
He was previously married to journalist Lauren Sánchez, who is now wed to Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos.
Patrick shares two children – son Evan, 19, and daughter Ella, 17 – with Lauren, while Pia has sons Isaiah, 22, and Lennox, 19, from two previous relationships.
'For me, it's honestly the best, most heartwarming thing to see the blending of four teenagers who were strangers just a few years ago,' she told Marie Claire Australia.
'We sit around the table every night, enjoying each other's company, having a laugh as we share our stories. We spent Thanksgiving together; how lucky are we to have all found each other?'
Pia also admitted she leans on her family during times of hardship, such as when they lost a house during last year’s California wildfires.
'We lost a house, we'd taken it down to the studs and I'd redone the whole thing. It was shocking – we were glued to the TV in our main house, watching the fire move down the coast in real time,' Pia admitted.
'It broke our hearts. Thank God I was surrounded by Patrick, friends and family. Every single thing burned, but we still had our main home; we were blessed compared to those who lost childhood homes.
'It was so surreal. A whole stretch of those character-filled 1960s coastal shacks, just gone.'
