Russell Brand is letting homeless friends stay at his Los Angeles mansion.
The comedian and actor, who has been spending more time in London with girlfriend Jemima Khan, has stunned his pals with his generosity in allowing them to "chill out" at his lavish $3.4 million pad while he is away.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "It's keeping a roof over their heads, and they're good people who don't bother anyone so he doesn't see the harm.
"They just chill out and watch TV in the home cinema, or relax by the pool overlooking LA.
"They're never seen anything like it in their lives. They're in awe of Russell and his generosity."
The 38-year-old star's Beverly Hills mansion is just yards away from properties owned by Jennifer Aniston and Keanu Reeves but Russell makes sure his guests are supervised during their stay so that they don't annoy his celebrity neighbours.
The source continued: "Russell knows having his pals unsupervised would be pushing his luck, and probably his neighbours' patience.
"So he's got a friend of his from the charity he runs to stay over with them and make sure everything's in order. It's been working out fine."
In the past, the comedian, who is a former heroin addict, has given homeless people lifts in a car, taken them out for meals and handed out cash in the street.
He was also once seen helping a man riffle through a rubbish bin.

Rihanna threw a star-studded party after the Met Gala on Monday (05.05.14).
The 'Diamonds' hitmaker changed from Stella McCartney crop top and full-length skirt into a revealing gold gown for the bash at New York nightspot Up & Down, where she joined revellers including Naomi Campbell, Selena Gomez, Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren, Bradley Cooper and girlfriend Suki Waterhouse, John Legend and wife Chrissy Teigen, Leonardo DiCaprio and Lupita N'Yongo in partying until 4am.
Designer Alexander Wang hired a party bus - complete with music, neon lights and a stripper pole - to take himself and guests including Kristen Wiig, Nicole Richie and Zoe Kravitz from the Metropolitan Museum to the party, and they had a great time on the journey.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Everybody was laughing and dancing as they piled in. Kristen was swaying with her friends around the pole to the music, while Nicole texted away on her cellphone."
On arriving at the bash, guests were greeted by Rihanna and handed D'usse cocktails and many flocked straight for the dancefloor, with Jermaine Dupri behind the DJ decks.
Anne Hathaway - who changed into jeans and a top for the party - was described as the life of the party, grinding with Calvin Klein creative director Francisco Costa while a circle formed around them, and later staging a dance off between herself, husband Adam Shulman, J. Crew president Jenna Lyons and her girlfriend Courtney Crangi.

Sir Paul McCartney nearly drowned in a lime pit as a boy.
The 71-year-old legend's brother, Mike McGear McCartney, revealed the pair of them are lucky to be alive after they "were clinging for their lives" in a ditch and is glad their screams were heard by neighbours who helped to save them.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We were screaming and clinging on for our lives. Eventually, a neighbour heard us. He pulled us out."
Mike admits that their dad, James 'Jim' McCartney, was not pleased when he found out but since they were visibly shaken he let them off.
He added: "We got a good hiding from our dad. It wasn't as bad as it could have been because he could see the shock."
Meanwhile, talking on the 'Kevin & Bean' show, Paul has insisted he likes talking about his Beatles heyday since it's like looking at a "scrapbook" full of fond memories.
He explained: "It's like kind of talking about your college days when you're kind of not at college anymore and there's quite a few years gone by. With the Beatles, so much what we did was incredible. And I can talk like that because it's over. It's like looking at scrapbook.
"There's so many great moments, that I actually like being reminded of them."

Miley Cyrus doesn't drink or smoke on tour.
The 'Wrecking Ball' singer resumed her 'Bangerz' world tour in London last night (06.05.14) after having several weeks off due to a serious allergic reaction to an antibiotic and claims she is back on top form for her fans, even shunning alcohol, cigarettes and drugs when she's performing.
According to multiple sources, she said during a press conference: "I'm probably the only one on this tour who doesn't drink or smoke before a show, as I take this really seriously. It's almost like being an athlete being up here, because if someone was f**ked up, they definitely couldn't do my show."
Miley feels "better than ever" following her hospital stay and threatened to explode like a shooting star when she took to the stage.
She enthused: "I'm feeling good, I'm alive - so that's f**king awesome. I'm the poster child for good health. I've been laying down for three weeks. I'm gonna go off - I'm like a star waiting to explode."
The 21-year-old singer, who urged members of the audience of the same sex to kiss each other during her controversial, twerk-heavy set at London's O2 Arena, revealed she was on a natural high of vitamins these days.
She said: "I'm on this crazy vitamin rush and crazy honey and lavender. I learned a lot about taking care of yourself [while I was in hospital]."
Miley also slammed hurtful rumours she had postponed a number of her US shows and the first two dates of the European leg of her tour because of a drug overdose.
She lamented: "There is nothing I would rather not do than lay in a bed for two weeks. It was the most miserable two weeks of my life."

Jon Hamm used to work on porn films.
The 43-year-old actor struggled to get his big break in Hollywood when he first started out in the 90s and took every job he could find, including the "soul-crushing" role of a set dresser for soft-core porn movies.
He confessed in the new issue of Vanity Fair magazine: "I was actually at that time working as a set dresser for Cinemax soft-core-porn movies. It was soul-crushing."
Years later, after slaving away as a waiter and being dropped by his first agent, Jon landed the role of slick advertising boss Don Draper in hit 60s set show 'Mad Men' and he has never looked back.
He explained: "This is the best job I've ever had and maybe ever will have in my life - it's so fun to play all of this. It can be relentlessly dark. It can be terribly sexually inappropriate, is a way to say it. But who else gets a chance to do any of that stuff? There's so much there."
The handsome star's passion for acting harks back to his childhood, when his father would take him along to parties and dump him in front of the TV all night.
Jon recalled: "Eleven-thirty would roll around and the big huge 22-inch TV would be tuned to 'Saturday Night Live'. I would sit two feet in front of the TV and stare and watch the whole thing."

Katie Price's pregnancy is very different to her previous ones.
The 35-year-old former glamour model has just discovered she will give birth to her fifth child in three months time and says the news came as a shock because she hasn't experienced any of the symptoms she had when carrying her other four children, Harvey, 11, Junior, eight, Princess, six, and Jett, eight months.
She said: "I had no idea I was even pregnant. I always laughed when people said that they never realised they were pregnant. I've had four kids and it happened to me.
"I usually put on loads of weight and you can only just see my bump now. I've had no cravings and I'm not eating ice cubes like I have with all the others.
"I don't even feel pregnant. But I really want to start to show my bump off. It's going to be gone soon, so I want to make the most of this bump."
Katie - who knows the sex of her new baby - insists all her family are excited about her shock pregnancy, but she still thinks it is "crazy".
She told Now magazine: "We've gone through such swings of emotions so it feels now we can all start really getting excited. This baby is going to be in the same school year as Jett because they'll be less than 12 months between them. It's completely crazy."
And though the six months pregnant star wasn't expecting to have another baby so soon, she still wants more children in the future.
Asked if baby number five will be the last, she replied: "No way. I want more kids. I'm going to start again when I'm 40 but I think I need to give myself a rest before I get going again."

George Clooney's fiancee thought his proposal was a joke.
The 'Monuments Men' actor - who is known for his love of pranks - asked lawyer Amal Alamuddin to be his wife over dinner at his house last month, but he had to pop the question twice as she initially didn't believe he was serious.
A source said: "George has been blown away by her passion, her brains, and sheer force of will.
"Frankly, he's been worried that someone else would snap her up if he didn't act, so he produced the ring and. much to his relief, she said yes.
"But he did have to ask her twice! Amal thought he was pranking her at first. Happy isn't a strong enough word to describe them right now."
The couple are said to be planning an intimate wedding in Italy this summer, with just a select few guests invited to the nuptials.
A source said: "The important people will be there, but this is private, not for public consumption, so it will be friends and family only.
"It was a long time coming, but when George commits to something he really sees it through. Amal is the one."
The 53-year-old hunk has resigned from his United Nations (UN) role as a messenger for peace, and friends say that is because he intends to team up with Amal, a human rights lawyer, for a new project.
A source told Grazia magazine: "He's hitching his wagon to Amal's so he wants a clean slate in every sense.
"They're not just planning to live together, they're planning to work together too. As a team they could be unbeatable."

Neil Patrick Harris has lost 22lbs.
The 40-year-old actor admits he has shed some weight over the past few months in order to play the titular role in the Broadway musical 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch'.
Speaking on 'Live! With Kelly & Michael', he said: "I'm skinny. When I was filming 'How I Met Your Mother', I knew this show is coming up and it's such a different type of role that for three or four months I've been doing nothing but cardio and trying to lose some weight ... I lost about 22 lbs."
Neil - who has their three-year-old twins Gideon and Harper with his fiancé David Burtka - lost the weight by switching to a healthier diet and eating at a different time.
He explained: "It was pretty much a combination of [diet and exercise]. I just stopped eating late. I was the kind of person who, after we put the kids down, we would go eat at like 9pm or 9.30pm. We would order food in and by the time we ate, it was 10ish. It's easier with kids because kids eat dinner around 5.30 or 6pm. And we would just eat with them and I would try to not eat later."

Hayden Panettiere fell down the stairs after the Met Gala on Monday night (05.05.14).
The 24-year-old actress took a tumble at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City earlier this week after her glamorous Tom Ford dress got caught up under her feet.
The 'Nashville' star was making her way out of the annual event, held by Anna Wintour, when she stepped on the back of her dress and toppled over.
However, the blonde beauty managed to elegantly save herself from landing on the ground and revealing her knickers, before smiling sweetly at photographers.
She continued down the stairs after the mishap but made sure she lifted up the frock so that she didn't make the same mistake again.
Meanwhile, Hayden recently revealed she and her fiancé Wladimir Klitschko were delaying their wedding due to the current fighting in Ukraine, as the boxer's brother, Vitali, is involved in the reform efforts over there.
She said previously: "Everything that's happening in Ukraine definitely put a hold on things. But we have time."
The couple started dating in 2009 and announced their engagement in October last year.
