An ABC News star’s home was burned down in LA’s wildfires just one night after she moved in. Devastating wildfires in Los Angeles have wiped out entire neighbourhoods and killed at least 24 people so far, among fears the situation could continue to escalate over the coming days. Gusty Santa Ana winds are expected to intensify this week, the National Weather Service (NSW) has said, prompting rare Red Flag Warnings over the "particularly dangerous situation" - an alert reserved for "extreme of the extreme fire weather scenarios.".
Reporter Zohreen Shah confirmed this week that her newly-purchased home has been destroyed by one of the city’s largest fires, raging in the Pacific Palisades area. Posting a joint post on Instagram with her husband Rishi Shah, Zohreen explained how her life had been turned upside down.
The TV correspondent shared: “I lost my home in the fires. It's a total loss. We started moving in last week. Over and over, I told Rishi I couldn't believe this sanctuary was ours. We spent one night there. Just one. It was magical. We dreamed of retiring in that same home. Just five minutes from PCH, yet it felt like another planet.”.
She went on: “Deer walked up to the home, the birds sounded like a tropical island, and the ocean view was the California dream. We had peach, nectarine, lemon, and avocado trees — and a small enclosure for lettuce and strawberries, safe from wildlife.”.
