Paris Hilton shared the devastating news that her Malibu home was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire. On Jan. 8, the 43-year-old DJ and heiress revealed she first learned of the destruction while watching a live news segment.
The following day, Hilton posted a video to Instagram showing the ruins of her property. The footage revealed a charred entrance surrounded by piles of rubble, collapsed walls, and lingering flames. In an emotional caption, Hilton wrote, "I'm standing here in what used to be our home, and the heartbreak is truly indescribable. When I first saw the news, I was in complete shock. But now, seeing it with my own eyes, it feels like my heart has shattered into a million pieces."
She reflected on the sentimental value of her home, calling it more than just a place to live. "This house was where we dreamed, laughed, and created the most beautiful memories as a family," she shared. Hilton described the irreplaceable loss of cherished items, including art created by her 23-month-old son, Phoenix Barron. "To see it reduced to ashes is devastating beyond words."
Hilton, who also shares a two-month-old daughter, London Marilyn, with husband Carter Reum, expressed deep empathy for others affected by the fires. "This isn't just my story," she said. "So many have lost everything—homes, memories, keepsakes. It's not just walls and roofs; it's the pieces of our lives that make a house a home."
Despite the tragedy, Hilton conveyed gratitude for the safety of her loved ones and the heroic efforts of firefighters and volunteers battling the flames. She thanked her followers for their prayers and extended support to those facing similar losses. "We're in this together. We will rebuild, heal, and rise stronger. Let this be a reminder to hold your loved ones close and cherish every moment."
As of Jan. 9, over 100,000 Los Angeles residents remained under evacuation orders, with the fires claiming five civilian lives. Hilton concluded her message by sending love to those affected, emphasizing the importance of community during such challenging times.
Other celebrities, including Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Anna Faris, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, Ricki Lake, Cary Elwes, and Cameron Mathison, have also lost their homes to the fires.
