Paris Hilton’s Malibu beach house, once a sanctuary for the star, was destroyed in the catastrophic wildfires sweeping through Southern California.
The TV personality, 43, returned to the site to witness the devastation firsthand, just a day after confirming that she saw her home “burn to the ground” on live television.
Paris Hilton returns to see the charred remains of her Malibu home
She filmed an emotional video as she walked through the charred remains of her Malibu residence.
She shared her heartbreak with followers on Instagram, saying, “Standing here in what used to be our home, the heartbreak is truly indescribable.”
Hilton explained that she was initially in shock after learning about the fire, but standing at the site brought the reality of the loss.
Hilton had purchased the two-story property in 2021 for $8.4 million.
It was a dream home with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, now reduced to rubble by the devastating Pacific Palisades fire.
A place of memories lost to flames
The house wasn’t just a structure for Hilton; it was where memories were made.
“It was where Phoenix’s little hands made art I’ll cherish forever,” she reflected, expressing deep sorrow over losing such sentimental items. She added, “It wasn’t just a place to live—it was where we dreamed, laughed, and created memories as a family.”
While devastated by the loss of her home, Hilton was quick to share gratitude for the safety of her loved ones.
“My babies, my pets, and my loved ones are safe,” she said, emphasizing that this was the most important thing.
She thanked firefighters, first responders, and volunteers for their bravery, adding that their sacrifices were a reminder of the beauty still present in the world.
A heartfelt message of hope and solidarity
Hilton’s message extended beyond her personal loss. “So many people have lost everything. It’s not just walls and roofs, but the memories that made those houses homes,” she said.
She encouraged those going through similar pain to remember that “we are in this together. We will rebuild, we will heal, and we will rise stronger than before.”
In her conclusion, Hilton shared an important reminder to cherish loved ones and precious moments.
“Life can change in an instant, and it’s the love we share that truly matters,” she wrote.
The remains of Hilton’s home, along with neighboring properties, serve as a powerful reminder of the destruction caused by the recent fires.
The modern home had three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and panoramic windows offering scenic views.
Now, the front entrance is all that remains, with the rest of the house reduced to ashes.
Nearby properties have also been destroyed, leaving trees charred and barren. Smoke still rises from the wreckage as the sun sets over the horizon.
Other celebrities, such as Candy Spelling and Diane Warren, also lost their beachfront homes in the Palisades fire.
The fire has claimed more than 5,000 structures, and the Eaton fire in Altadena and Pasadena has affected thousands more. Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley called the Palisades fire one of the most destructive natural disasters in the city’s history.
Paris Hilton’s escape from the wildfires
As the flames spread, Hilton evacuated her Malibu mansion with her pets, sharing her experience on social media.
She posted a video showing her pets in the backseat as she packed up to leave, urging others to care for their animals and stay safe.
Later, she shared an emotional update, describing the flames as looking like “hell has taken over.”
Despite the traumatic experience, Hilton reassured her followers that she and her loved ones were safe.
She expressed gratitude for their safety, saying, “I’m just glad we’re all safe.”
Paris Hilton’s continued commitment to helping others
In her heartfelt message, Hilton also acknowledged the impact of the fires on other families. She promised that her media team was working to assist those affected by the wildfires. “We are committed to offering help and making a meaningful difference for those who need it most,” she shared.
Hilton’s gratitude also extended to the brave firefighters and first responders who risked their lives to combat the fires.
“You are true heroes,” she said, expressing her deep appreciation for their courage and dedication.
