Paris Hilton shared that her family’s home was destroyed in the Los Angeles wildfires.
In an emotional post on X Wednesday, the media mogul expressed she was “heartbroken beyond words” over the loss.
“Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience,” Hilton wrote.
She is married to entrepreneur Carter Reum, and they have two children: son Phoenix, 1, and daughter London, 1.”
This home was where we built so many precious memories,” Hilton continued.
“It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London.”
Powerful Santa Ana winds have fueled several wildfires across LA County since Tuesday, resulting in at least five fatalities and destroying homes.
The Eaton Fire, which started 30 miles inland in Altadena near Pasadena, quickly expanded to over 16 square miles, or 10,600 acres.
The Pacific Palisades Fire has devastated buildings, burning 15,832 acres between Santa Monica and Malibu.
A third blaze, the Hurst Fire, ignited in Sylmar in the San Fernando Valley and burned at least 500 acres, prompting evacuations for nearby residents.
Consequently, more than 100,000 people have been ordered to evacuate.”While the loss is overwhelming, I’m holding onto gratitude that my family is safe,” Hilton wrote.
“My heart and prayers are going out to every family affected by these fires, to all the people who have lost their homes, their memories, and their beloved pets.”
“My heart aches for those still in harm’s way or mourning greater losses. The devastation is unimaginable. To know so many are waking up today without the place they called home is truly heartbreaking.
Hilton concluded her post with a heartfelt thank-you to “the brave firefighters and first responders risking their lives to protect us,” writing, “I am so grateful for your courage, dedication, and the incredible sacrifices you’re making to save lives and fight this unimaginable battle.”
“Let’s protect one another and hold onto hope that these fires will soon be contained,” Hilton wrote.
“We’re in this together, LA.Hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight. You never know when everything could change.”
