Paris Hilton has opened up about her heartbreak after watching her Malibu home burn down in the California wildfires. These fires have become a major crisis, forcing over 137,000 people, including several Hollywood stars, to evacuate. They have become the most destructive wildfires in LA’s history, with six fires burning across the state, including one near the Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
At least five people have tragically lost their lives, and more than 1,000 homes have been destroyed. Firefighters are struggling to contain the fires, with no significant progress made so far. Governor Gavin Newsom has secured federal support from President Joe Biden to help with the response efforts. He warned residents to follow evacuation orders as the situation continues to evolve.
On January 9, Hilton shared her emotional reaction to seeing her home burn on live TV. She wrote on Instagram, expressing how difficult it was to watch her house, where she had built many precious memories, disappear. Despite the overwhelming loss, she expressed gratitude that her family and pets were safe.
Hilton sent her thoughts to everyone affected by the fires, saying her heart went out to those who lost their homes, memories, and pets. She also mentioned that her team was already working with nonprofit organizations to support those impacted by the fires. Hilton took a moment to thank the firefighters and first responders for their courage and efforts to save lives.
Experts have linked the wildfires to climate change, noting that high heat, drought, and dry conditions have made fires more severe in California. Governor Newsom emphasized that wildfires are no longer limited to a season—they are a year-round threat.
