Paris Hilton Shares Heartbreak Over Malibu Home Lost in Wildfires
Paris Hilton has opened up about losing her Malibu home due to the devastating wildfires sweeping across California. This week, over 100,000 people have been forced to leave their homes, with many celebrities among those affected.
Strong winds, reaching up to 70 mph, have worsened the situation, causing the fires to spread rapidly. California’s governor has declared a state of emergency as the flames continue to destroy homes across Los Angeles.
Reports indicate there are now at least six wildfires, with one moving through the upscale Pacific Palisades area. Tragically, at least five people have died, and over 1,000 structures have been destroyed, according to the Associated Press.
Firefighters have faced significant challenges due to the winds, initially unable to fight the fire from the air. Although they have now resumed aerial efforts, resources like water are running low. David Acuna, a battalion chief with the Californian Fire Service, told the BBC that the fire is “rapidly expanding,” and efforts to slow it have had little success.
Many celebrities, including Mark Hamill and Billy Crystal, have shared their loss on social media. Paris Hilton also took to Instagram to express her sorrow over the destruction of her home.
Today, Hilton shared a post with her followers, saying she was “heartbroken beyond words.” Watching her home burn on live TV with her family was a devastating experience. “This home was where we built so many precious memories,” she wrote, recalling moments like her son Phoenix’s first steps.
Despite the overwhelming loss, Hilton expressed relief that her family and pets were safe. She sent her “heart and prayers” to all families forced to evacuate. “The devastation is unimaginable,” she added, emphasizing the heartbreak of those waking up without a home.
Hilton’s team at 11:11 Media Impact is already working with nonprofit organizations to help affected communities. She also expressed deep gratitude to the firefighters and first responders, calling them “true heroes” for their bravery and sacrifices.
Hilton urged everyone to stay safe and heed evacuation orders, concluding with a message of unity: “We’re in this together, LA.”
