Leighton Meester and Heidi Montag have seen a sudden surge in music popularity as fans attempt to raise money after they lost their houses in the LA wildfires. Thousands have been forced to evacuate the city after wildfires broke out, claiming at least five people’s lives and reducing historic buildings to ash.
Both actresses had brief forays into music in the 2010s but now their albums are reappearing on chart lists for the first time in a decade. Heartstrings, Leighton’s only album, reached 21 on the iTunes all-genre chart after images showed a building, thought to be her home, engulfed in flames.

The Gossip Girl icon’s house – which she shares with Adam Brody – was reportedly reduced to rubble in the Palisades fire. Just last week, Heidi, 38, shot to number one on iTunes after the news of her and Spencer Pratt’s misfortune reached fans.

Her studio album Superficial was a commercial flop on it’s release in 2010 and was critically panned but track I’ll Do It had a TikTok revivial two years ago. The Hills couple were one of the first to share confirmation that their home had been destroyed, documenting the ordeal on social media.

Spencer, 41, shared he was ‘watching our house burn down on the security cameras’. He later returned to his burned-down home, revealing his Rolls Royce in tatters surrounded by rubble and calling it ‘horror movie life’. Taking to TikTok, he wrote: ‘Please stream any of @heidimontag music on any platforms it will make a huge difference!’.
