Harry Styles has splurged millions on real estate, in a bid to feel safe in his own home.

The former One Direction star just spent a jaw-dropping £10 million on the house next door to his £3 million home in London.

The sale comes just six months after Harry bought the property at the back of his house for £8.8 million.

This means Harry has spent almost £19 million on property surrounding his home, after he recently sought a restraining order against a man who stalked him for months.

A source told The Sun: “Harry’s ordeal has left him petrified. Rather than be driven out of his home, he has taken steps to feel super-safe.”

“His home is on a corner, and by buying the properties next to it and behind it, he feels untouchable. It’s a fortress.”

Last month, the singer was forced to appear in court to give evidence against 26-year-old Pablo Tarazaga-Orero.

Speaking from behind a screen in court, Harry said he offered to buy Pablo food or a hotel room back in March – after he saw him sleeping rough at a bus stop near his home in London.

Two months later, Harry was forced to report the Spanish national to the police, after his behaviour left him feeling unsafe at his own home.

 

 

Harry claimed he saw Pablo at the bus stop 50 yards from his home “at least five days a week”.

He also allegedly posted notes and money through his letterbox, and followed him to his local pub on several occasions.

The former One Direction star’s legal team argued that Pablo’s stalking has had a “significant effect” on his life.

Speaking in court, Harry said: “I never really encountered this kind of behaviour before. I’ve employed a night guard. I continue to lock my bedroom door at night.”

Pablo denied one count of stalking between April and June this year, but was found guilty as District Judge Nigel Deane described Harry as a “reliable and credible witness.”
