The catastrophic wildfires sweeping across southern California have left many musicians and Hollywood stars among those devastated as their homes were reduced to ashes. Grammy-winning songwriter Diane Warren revealed that her Malibu home of 30 years was destroyed. She wrote on social media: “It looks like it was lost in the fire last night. There’s a rainbow shining on it, which I’m taking as a sign of hope for all creatures who have been affected by this tragedy.” Warren, who runs an animal rescue ranch in the area, confirmed that the animals were safe.”.
Actor and musician Mandy Moore’s home in Altadena, which she shared with her husband Taylor Goldsmith of the band Dawes, was badly damaged by the fires. On Instagram, Moore wrote: “We were able to park and walk up our street to bear witness to all the loss. Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing. For now. It’s not livable but mostly intact.
