She pops compound on market

Singer-songwriter Katy Perry has listed her Mediterranean compound in Hollywood Hills West for $9.45 million.

Tucked behind walls and gates, the 2.33-acre estate comprises a four-bedroom main house, a two-story guesthouse, a gym and a guard house. The lush grounds include an amphitheater, terrace patios and an Italian stone-rimmed swimming pool.

Within the more than 7,400 square feet of living space is a master suite that occupies the entire second floor.

Perry, 32, released her fifth studio album, “Witness,” this year. Her previous albums include “One of the Boys” (2008) and “Teenage Dream” (2010).
