Paris Hilton’s Malibu Beach Home Destroyed in California Wildfires
The devastating wildfires sweeping through Southern California have claimed the homes of numerous celebrities, including Paris Hilton. The 43-year-old socialite, who shares two children with her husband Carter Reum, has reportedly lost her Malibu beachside property to the infernos ravaging the region.
A Home Reduced to Ashes
According to insiders, Hilton’s luxurious coastal retreat has been “burned to the ground” as wildfires engulf the Pacific Palisades and Malibu areas of Los Angeles. While the beachfront house was not her primary residence, as Hilton owns multiple properties including a Beverly Hills mansion, its destruction underscores the widespread impact of the fires.
On Wednesday, Hilton took to Instagram to share her heartbreak, posting images of the fiery devastation with the caption, “Praying for LA/California.” She also encouraged her 26 million followers to help those affected by donating to organizations like the American Red Cross, LA Food Bank, and the LAFD Wildfire Emergency Fund.
Wildfires Leave Celebrities Displaced
The California wildfires, driven by strong winds, have caused chaos across the region, destroying homes, forcing road closures, and displacing tens of thousands of residents. By Wednesday afternoon, officials confirmed at least five fatalities, with 70,000 residents under evacuation orders and nearly 30,000 structures at risk.
Hilton is not the only celebrity affected by the disaster. Other stars who have lost homes include Anna Faris, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, James Woods, Eugene Levy, Miles Teller and Keleigh Teller, and John Goodman.
Heartbreaking Evacuations
Celebrities like Jamie Lee Curtis, Mark Hamill, and Mandy Moore shared their evacuation experiences on social media. Curtis revealed that her neighborhood—and possibly her own home—was engulfed in flames, while Moore admitted she was struggling to shield her children from “extreme sadness and worry.”
“Heartbroken by the destruction and loss,” Moore posted on her Instagram story. “Not sure if our home will make it through.” She expressed gratitude for the firefighters and kind strangers helping others escape the blaze.
James Woods shared a video of towering orange flames engulfing the landscape near his home, writing, “Standing in my driveway, ready to evacuate.” The actor later confirmed he had left, adding, “Losing everything at once tests your soul.”
A Community on Edge
The Pacific Palisades neighborhood, immortalized by the Beach Boys in their 1960s hit Surfin’ USA, is known for its hillside celebrity homes and breathtaking coastal views. Now, it’s a scene of chaos as residents flee for safety. Roads became gridlocked with abandoned cars, while some evacuees carried suitcases and ran on foot.
“We barely escaped Malibu,” shared Mark Hamill on Instagram, describing small fires along both sides of the road as he and his family approached the Pacific Coast Highway.
A Somber Hollywood
The wildfires struck just days after Hollywood’s elite gathered for the Golden Globes, the first major event of the awards season. The celebratory mood quickly gave way to grief. Premieres for anticipated films like Better Man and The Last Showgirl were canceled, while announcements for the Screen Actors Guild Awards were reduced to press releases instead of live events. Even festivities like the AFI Awards were called off.
As Hilton and other stars grapple with their losses, their focus has shifted to supporting those affected. Hilton’s heartfelt plea for assistance reflects a broader effort among celebrities to rally behind their community during this crisis.
While the fires continue to burn, one thing is clear: the resilience and unity of those affected will shine through the ashes, offering hope for a brighter future in the aftermath of this tragedy.
