Back in 1994, movie star OJ Simpson took shelter in the luxurious mansion before infamously fleeing the police as almost 100 million people watched on live TV.

The American football star led 20 police cars and nine helicopters on a low-speed pursuit through Los Angeles.

Simpson was arrested after the chase for the murders of his former wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her male friend, Ron Goldman.

The modernly decorated home, located at 16254 Mandalay Drive in Encino, California, was owned by Robert Kardashian at the time of the chase.

Attorney Robert Kardashian - Kris Jenner's ex husband and dad of Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob - allowed his friend Simpson to hide out from the media in the million dollar home after he was charged with killing his ex-wife.

Kardashian was also Simpson's defense attorney in the 1995 murder trial.
