Tori Spelling is house hunting again after moving into a lavish $18,000-a-month rental home

But she has now been photographed touring three Los Angeles properties that were hosting open houses, alongside a man who appeared to be a real estate agent.

The Daily Mail reported she has already moved out of her new rental after settling in, as photos obtained by the outlet showed movers taking her belongings - including unmarked boxes of clothes, toiletries and other household items - out of the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house in Woodland Hills, California, and loading them into a truck.

They were then said to have taken the belongings to a storage facility in Calabasas near the home she shared with her estranged husband, Dean McDermott.

There is speculation Tori may be on the move again after a scare in the neighbourhood where her rental was located.

She and her kids were last week forced to evacuate the property when a neighbour was arrested with an AR-15 and a reported hostage.

The distressed star was snapped amid the chaos, which reportedly involved an armed man who barricaded himself inside a home.

His identity has not yet been revealed, but he was seen wearing a white T-shirt, blue basketball shorts and trainers as a SWAT team took him away in handcuffs.

Tori's rental featured a large pool, a patio, an outdoor entertainment space and a dining area, which accommodates up to six guests.

Tori - who has kids Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and six-year-old Beau with her estranged 56-year-old actor husband Dean McDermott - recently praised her children for their "kindness" and "empathy" in a social media post.

She posed with son Liam and daughter Stella before they attended their high school's dance, and captioned the snap: "I'm sorry, little Monkey and Buggy can't come to the phone right now. Why? ... Oh, 'cause they're grown!

"Little mama had to get one pic with my babes. Forever in my eyes they'll appear their 2 and 3 year old selves with me holding their hands. Now, both taller than me. It happens!"

Tori went on to praise her eldest two children for their "kindness, empathy and confidence" and called them "wise and aware and just really cool humans".

She concluded her post: "Proud to be their mom. I trust these 2 because they are just good kids and GET IT! So filled with love and beaming with proudness as mama helps baby birds take flight. No doubt these 2 will soar! And, best of all, they deserve to!"

It's been widely reported the actress has been struggling with money following her reported separation from Dean, who announced their split in June in a now-deleted social media post, following 17 years of marriage to Tori.

The split came one month after the actress revealed her kids were ill from "extreme" mould in their rental home.

It resulted in her first checking her family into a $100-per-night motel before moving them to an RV in August.

Dean was recently spotted at a welfare centre, where he was holding hands with his apparent new 32-year-old girlfriend Lily Calo.
