She died a year later.<ref>{{harvnb|Louvish|2007|p=433}}</ref><ref name="jolie" /> His personal will drew a line between Cecilia and his three adopted children, with Cecilia receiving a majority of DeMille's inheritance and estate. The other three children were surprised by this, as DeMille had not treated them differently in life.{{sfn|Eyman|2010|pp=506–507}} Cecilia lived in the house until her death in 1984.<ref>[https://www.upi.com/Archives/1984/06/26/De-Mille-daughter-dies/8570457070400/ ''De Mille daughter dies''], upi.com, June 26, 1984</ref> The house was auctioned by his granddaughter Cecilia DeMille Presley, who also lived there in the late 1980s.<ref>{{cite news |last=Vyzralek |first=Patti |title=Christie's East to Auction DeMille Possessions |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-09-26-ca-1893-story.html |work=Los Angeles Times |date=September 26, 1988 |access-date=June 26, 2019}}</ref>{{refn|group=note|The estate cycled through several different homeowners for the next 30 years until it was bought by American actress [[Angelina Jolie]] in 2017 for nearly $25&nbsp;million.<ref name="jolie">{{cite news |last=David |first=Mark |title=Angelina Jolie Buys Cecil B.
