Paris Hilton: She shows her burned down house in Malibu

Paris Hilton (43) is one of the many celebrities who lost their home due to the ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area. She wrote on Thursday that she had to watch live on TV how her house in Malibu burned down. A day later, the reality star was apparently there herself to see the extent of the destruction.

in which only the ruins of a house can be seen, small flames still burn between the rubble, and the sea and a sunset can be seen in the background. “I’m standing here in the place that was our home and the pain is truly indescribable,” writes the reality star. “When I first saw the news I was in complete shock – I couldn’t process it. But now, standing here and seeing it with my own eyes, it feels like my heart has shattered into a million pieces. “

For the entrepreneur, the house was “not just a place to live”: “It was the place where we dreamed, laughed and created the most beautiful memories as a family,” she writes. “To see it crumble into ash… it’s shocking beyond words.”

“What breaks my heart even more is knowing that this isn’t just my story,” she continues. “So many people have lost everything. It’s not just walls and roofs – it’s the memories that made these houses a home. It’s the photos, the keepsakes, the irreplaceable parts of our lives.”

Despite all the pain, she considers herself lucky that “my loved ones, my babies and my animals are safe.” “That’s the most important thing, and I’m holding on to that gratitude with everything I have.” In the past few days, Hilton had repeatedly shared updates of her evacuation with her Instagram followers. The entrepreneur fled with her husband Carter Reum (43), their children Phoenix (almost 2) and London (1) and their numerous pets.

The 43-year-old went on to thank “all the firefighters, first responders and volunteers who are risking their lives to fight these fires” and appealed: “Let this be a reminder to keep your loved ones close to you. Cherish the moments. Life can change in an instant, and it’s the love we share that really counts.”

More than 100,000 residents in Southern California had to evacuate their homes this week after multiple wildfires broke out on Tuesday in the Los Angeles area, including in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu as well as Pasadena and Altadena. Due to the strong wind, they spread quickly and over a large area with several small fires. Numerous houses burned down completely, including those of many celebrities.
