Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has been house hunting in Los Angeles without longtime partner Brad Pitt.

The Tomb Raider star privately viewed a $2 million luxury villa in Laurel Canyon.

Current owner Wolfgang Wind says, "It was very strange because it was just her, no bodyguard, no assistant, no nanny, no kids and no Brad.

"I had no idea who the potential buyer was until I saw her.

"She looked extremely skinny. She was very flattering and said the house was extremely nice and I am hoping that she'll make an offer."

Jolie recently quashed rumors her relationship with Pitt is on the rocks, insisting the pair has "blind faith" in each other.
