Inside Liam Payne's $9,500-a-month Florida mansion he moved into weeks before death

Liam Payne was seen proudly showing off his new rental property to his fans in a Snapchat video just a few weeks before the One Direction star tragically died

Liam Payne was seen showing off his incredible new home in South Florida just a month before his death.

The One Direction star and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy had just moved into the $9,500-a-month Spanish-style rental mansion when he made the tongue-in-cheek Snapchat to give his fans a glimpse of the property. Liam - who tragically died on Wednesday at the age of 31 - rented the $1.73million home in Florida's Wellington neighbourhood which is known as 'Horse Town USA' due to a plethora of equestrian sports.

Liam - whose sister shared a heartbreaking tribute to him earlier today - joked as he made the video standing outside wearing sunglasses as he mimicked Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous as he waved his arm and exclaimed: "Who lives in a house like this? Let's go and find out."

As he walked inside the house Liam continued: "Welcome to LJP Cribs. Built during the first revolution, original stone… since then they knocked a few walls through and the ceiling was vaulted twice."

The late star's fun-loving side was apparent as he walked past two wicker baskets and told fans "This is where I keep my pet snakes Sid and Alan," in the video obtained by the DailyMail.

He then showed off a recessed arch in the wall beneath and white and black iron balustraded staircase as he joked: "This did contain one of the most important paintings in the world inside it, but it was stolen."

Elsewhere in the clip Liam opened a small cupboard with household items in as he quipped, "This is where we hide people." He then headed upstairs and strolled through the hallway adding "I'm a busy man, I'm a very, very busy man so I need space to think."

Inside on of the bedrooms Liam opened a walk-in closet filled with girlfriend Kate's shoes as he declared: "This is where we hide a few more people." He then headed back down the hallway concluding his tour adding: "I will now go down the dizzy staircase and continue on with my day. Thanks for watching LJP Cribs."

The couple had moved into the house - which has five bedrooms, six bathrooms and and a lavish outdoor courtyard with a saltwater pool and waterfalls - in September. The property is surrounded by palm trees and is located in an exclusive gated community. Liam died after falling from a third floor balcony at the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires.

An investigation into the circumstances surrounding Liam's death is ongoing. His loss has seen a public outpouring of grief from fans and his fellow celebrities, as well as his One Direction bandmates, music mogul and X Factor creator Simon Cowell, ex-girlfriend Cheryl Tweedy and friends and family of the singer who was just 31 years old.
