Paris Hilton is grieving the loss of her Malibu home, which was destroyed in the devastating wildfires that ravaged parts of Los Angeles. The 43-year-old socialite and businesswoman shared her heartbreak with her followers in a deeply emotional Instagram post on January 8, revealing that she had first learned of the destruction while watching the news.
The news left her stunned, but a day later, she visited the remains of her home to witness the full extent of the damage.
Standing amidst the charred remnants of her property, Hilton expressed her sorrow, writing, “I’m standing here in what used to be our home, and the heartbreak is truly indescribable.” The accompanying video showed the extent of the devastation, with the home reduced to rubble. Small fires were still smoldering amid collapsed walls and debris, underscoring the ferocity of the blaze.
In her emotional post, Hilton reflected on the precious memories the home once held. She recalled how it was not just a house but a place filled with love and life. “It was where Phoenix’s little hands made art that I’ll cherish forever, where love and life filled every corner,” she wrote, referencing her 23-month-old son, Phoenix, with her husband Carter Reum. The loss of such cherished moments left her devastated. “To see it reduced to ashes… it’s devastating beyond words,” she continued.
Despite her heartbreak, Hilton expressed gratitude for the safety of her family, including her son and her pets. She also praised the bravery of the firefighters who worked tirelessly to battle the blazes and protect other homes. “I know I’m incredibly lucky,” Hilton reflected, acknowledging the safety of her loved ones amid such a terrible disaster.
Hilton also extended her support to others affected by the fires, many of whom have suffered similar losses. “We’re in this together,” she wrote, sending a message of solidarity to those facing similar challenges. “We will rebuild, we will heal, and we will rise stronger than before.”
The wildfires have caused widespread destruction in Los Angeles, forcing over 100,000 residents to evacuate their homes. Tragically, the disaster has claimed the lives of five civilians. Celebrities like Adam Brody, Leighton Meester, and Anna Faris are among those who have also lost their homes in the fire, highlighting the far-reaching impact of the disaster on both the public and private lives of many.
