Raging wildfires in Los Angeles have forced 100,000 people to evacuate, with several celebrities among those who’ve lost their homes.
Actors Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Paris Hilton, Anna Faris, and Billy Crystal are among the victims. Hilton shared her heartbreak on Instagram after learning her $10.5 million Malibu home burned down. “While the loss is overwhelming, I’m grateful my family is safe,” she wrote. Crystal, whose six-bedroom home of nearly 50 years was destroyed, said, “Every inch was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can’t be taken away.”
Anthony Hopkins, Mandy Moore, and Eugene Levy also lost their properties. Moore expressed devastation over the fires that “leveled” homes in Altadena, while Levy described the smoke as “intense” before his evacuation.
Four fires are tearing through the Los Angeles area, threatening 28,000 structures and claiming over 1,000. The Palisades Fire has spread rapidly, fueled by dry conditions and winds up to 160 km/h.
Other stars like Chris Pratt, Reese Witherspoon, and Ben Affleck were forced to evacuate. Affleck fled his $20.5 million mansion, while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly at risk in Montecito.
Some celebrities, including Ashton Kutcher, have joined firefighting efforts, while others, like Cameron Mathison and Ricki Lake, shared their losses online. “It’s all gone,” Lake wrote, calling her home “heaven on earth.”
Authorities urge residents to conserve water as fire crews battle to save what remains.
