Showbusiness supercouple Beyonce and Jay Z are on the hunt for a new home after the house they have been renting in Los Angeles was sold.

The pop star and her rapper husband recently decided to move from New York to California and they took out a lease on a mansion in Holmby Hills after their plans to buy a $70 million house in Beverly Hills fell through.

However, they are now looking for new accommodation after the owner of their rented home agreed a deal to sell the property for $35.5 million, according to TMZ.com.

The couple is now reportedly looking for a house in Beverly Hills, Bel-Air or Holmby Hills.
