Paul Keating's beauty mogul daughter offloads her notorious Los Angeles party pad - where the Keating sisters hid as their links to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein were exposed

Former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating's daughter is quietly selling her family home in Los Angeles' Hollywood Hills - and it comes complete with a notorious past, along with modern day controversy.

Alexandra Keating, 41, is offloading the sprawling $2.2 million property in Laurel Canyon, which she shared with her husband, movie director Rupert Sanders, and their children.

The couple bought the historic 1920s home in 2018, which was owned by iconic interior designer Paul Fortune - a man once renowned for hosting debauched parties with the likes of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and queen of pop Madonna.

In announcing the sale of her home on Instagram, Ms Keating proclaimed, 'Jagger said in the 1980s, "If you were invited up to the house, you had landed in Los Angeles".

Before he shot to fame, Bond star Daniel Craig bunked at the Fortune home - which was known to host parties featuring celebrities, hustlers and Hollywood wannabes.

British-born Fortune, who oversaw the home interiors of celebrities including Marc Jacobs, Sofia Coppola, as well as the Tower Bar within the world-famous Sunset Tower hotel, sold the home in 2013 and moved to Ojai, in Southern California.

He died in 2020 from a cardiac arrest, aged 69.

After Alexandra moved in alongside Mr Sanders in 2018, the home became notorious alongside the Keating name.

It was where her elder sister Katherine, who, property records show, at one time lived a 10-minute drive away, took refuge when her connections to the late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, his sex-trafficker girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, and the former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, were revealed in 2019.

Katherine was revealed to have spent time at Jeffrey Epstein's paedophile lair in New York after his conviction on child sex offences. 

She partied with her older sister Katherine in 2013 at the home of Maxwell, the British socialite accused of procuring underage girls for Epstein and showing them how to perform oral sex and how to use their hands to pleasure him.

Alexandra and Katherine were on the New York social scene, with Alexandra moving there first from Australia and Katherine joining her in 2010, before both sisters traded the Big Apple for Hollywood.

When a Daily Mail reporter approached Alexandra's Jewett Drive home in 2019, she refused to comment on her sister being unmasked as the mysterious brunette seen being waved off from the Epstein's Manhattan townhouse by Prince Andrew in a 2010 video.

At the time, she was accompanied by Mr Sanders and another male companion, frantically loading suitcases into a vehicle. 

When asked to comment on her sister's links to the pedophile financier and his alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell, she shook her head and said: 'I'm not Katherine.'

While the Keating sisters have long experienced fame - and more recently, infamy - due to their being one of Australia's political powerhouses, Sanders is no stranger to making headlines.

The Laurel Canyon home represented a fresh start with Alexandra after his first marriage to model Liberty Ross disintegrated when he was caught on camera cheating with Twilight star Kristen Stewart in 2012.

At the time, he was directing Stewart in the film Snow White and the Huntsman. 

US tabloid magazine Us Weekly obtained pictures of the pair kissing and cuddling in an outdoor setting.

Sanders' marriage to Ross ended in divorce in 2014, and Stewart's long-term relationship with actor Robert Pattinson ended soon after the photos were released.

Neither were invited to take part in the film's 2016 sequel, and in 2019, when Sanders had moved on with Alexandra and was living in Laurel Canyon, Stewart dragged the saga back into the spotlight. 

'We lived in a different time then, you know what I mean? I feel like the s**t shaming that went down was so absurd,' Stewart. 

'And they should've put me in that movie! It would've been better. Not to be a d**k, but…

'They didn't put me in that movie because I went through such a highly publicised scandal, and so they were like scared of touching that.

'That was a really hard period of my life, I was really young, I didn't really know how to deal with that. I made some mistakes. And honestly, it's no one's business.'

In announcing the sale of her home, Alexandra did not reveal the next steps for her and her family.

She appears to be hunting for a private buyer, with 1809 Jewett Drive not appearing to be an active listing across Los Angeles' biggest real-estate websites.

'We are selling our beloved house... the former home of Paul Fortune, where all the LA parties were,' she said on Thursday.

'Where Madonna came after hours, where LA's long lunches were hosted. We want her to go to a friend and someone who will love, appreciate and preserve her beauty and history.'

She invited her 3,700 Instagram followers to share or DM her for more details.

It prompted a strong response from celebrities, including Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey.

'I lived there many times, one time while I was making Ferris Bueller. It was the best and [Fortune] was the best,' she said. 

British media personality Amanda de Cadenet appeared to be interested in the fabled property, saying, 'I love that house. It's so special. DM'ed you'.

Australian pop star Ben Lee - who also lived in Laurel Canyon with wife Ione Skye - was also seen 'liking' the post. 

Earlier this year, the extent of Katherine - and, by proxy Alexandra's - friendship with Epstein were exposed in a tranche of emails released by the US Department of Justice.

The emails suggested Katherine and Epstein socialised between 2010 and 2013 - after he had already served 13 months in prison after being convicted of child sex charges in 2008. 

One email revealed Katherine had offered to bring her younger sister to a lunch with Epstein and Woody Allen, after Epstein told her the film director liked pretty women.

In a statement earlier this year, she said her correspondence with Epstein stemmed from her keenness to meet with 'reputable and major leaders of American business, to open career opportunities of a kind I would have not otherwise have had. I had absolutely no other reason to have anything to do with Epstein'.

'The rest of the trail of inconsequential emails from Epstein, simply go to Epstein’s manic interest in following up any person whom he met or crossed paths with. This is why there are so many emails in the administration’s release of them.

'What followed however was a period of what could be termed as persistence bordering on harassment. Especially by his staff. And I reached a point of severing all contact.

'To be unequivocal: I never visited Epstein’s island, never flew on his plane, never had any inappropriate interaction with him or anyone he introduced me to, never witnessed inappropriate behaviour, and had absolutely no knowledge of the criminal conduct that has since come to light.'

The Daily Mail has contacted Alexandra for comment.
