Many Hollywood stars were forced to evacuate their mansions in early January as a series of fires ravaged through Los Angeles, with wind gusts topping 100 miles per hour in the Palisades, Eaton and surrounding regions.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency, forcing more than 30,000 Los Angeles residents to evacuate their homes.
Here is a look at the
celebs who have fled — or may have to flee — in order to protect their families’ lives and their own.
After the fire made its way to Malibu, it destroyed Paris Hilton’s beautiful beachfront property.
The hotel heiress said she was “heartbroken beyond words” to see her vacation home “burn to the ground on live TV” in a lengthy Instagram statement.
She confirmed that her family was safe and said her 11:11 Media Impact team is organizing a way to “best support” victims.
Hilton reportedly purchased her scenic Malibu home for $8.4 million with her husband Carter Reum.
The latest tragic events come just five months after the “Simple Life” alum’s trailer burned down on the set of one of her music videos last summer.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt announced that they were sadly one of the many who lost their home due to the blaze, with the latter posing just a few yards away from the fiery home.
A source later revealed that the Montag and Pratt residence “burned to the ground.”
In an heartfelt post, Pratt shared on Instagram that the “one positive sign” of the fire was that his son’s bed “burned in the shape of a heart.”
The “Hills” alum concluded, “A sign of how much love was in this house so thankful for all the years and memories there with our family.”Adam Brody and Leighton Meester’s lavish $6.5 million Los Angeles property also burned down.
Photos obtained by Page Six showed the couple’s five-bedroom, six-bedroom house ravaged by flames.
A shot showed fire bursting through a garage door, with the roof completely burned off.
The couple — who celebrated Brody’s Golden Globes nomination just days before the massive blaze — did not immediately comment on the devastating matter.
Anna Faris was yet another Hollywood star to lose her multimillion dollar mansion because of the blaze.
Photos obtained by Page Six showed only the debris and destruction left behind by the disaster.
Faris’ mansion was eco-friendly. The “House Bunny” star reportedly purchased the Pacific Palisades property for $4.9 million in 2018.
