Paris Hilton and Billy Crystal are among celebrities who have lost their family homes in the "unprecedented wildfires" currently ravaging Los Angeles. Thousands of firefighters are battling to control the original Palisades fire, which has already consumed nearly 16,000 acres, along with seven other fires across southern California that threaten to cause further destruction and loss of life as strong winds spread embers. At least five people have died.
The city has declared a state of emergency, forcing at least 70,000 people to evacuate their homes as the metropolitan area is engulfed in a thick cloud of smoke and ash. A new fire has now broken out in the Hollywood Hills, posing a threat to numerous tourist attractions including the Walk of Fame.
US socialite Hilton expressed her devastation at watching her Malibu home "burn to the ground on live TV" as she watched the news with her family – including her son Phoenix and daughter London whom she shares with husband Carter Reum. "This home was where we built so many precious memories. It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London. While the loss is overwhelming, I’m holding onto gratitude that my family and pets are safe," the 43-year-old woman said in an Instagram post.
