The so-called “City of Angels” is currently up in flames. Los Angeles is battling the worst wildfire in history, with over 2,000 hectares blazing out of control. As firefighters battle to save the community, big Hollywood events like The Critics Choice Awards and Jimmy Kimmel’s show have had to hit pause — or were straight-up canceled.
The wildfires spread at record speed due to an intense windstorm — think hurricane-level chaos — forcing over 70,000 people to evacuate their homes. Among them? A bunch of celebs who live in the bougie neighborhood of Pacific Palisades and nearby areas.
Below, we share a list of famous stars whose luxurious homes sadly didn’t survive the blaze:
Celebrities Whose Homes Have Burned Down in the 2025 Wildfires
1. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag
This iconic reality TV duo went through some drama while evacuating their Los Angeles hillside home — and documented it all on social media. In a series of TikTok videos, Heidi got emotional, saying, “Sad our house is gone, everything you worked so hard for…” Meanwhile, Pratt shared that his childhood home, where his parents still lived, was completely destroyed.
2. Mandy Moore
Actress Mandy Moore and her three kids had to make a quick escape from their Pasadena home valued at $6 million, as the flames spread crazy fast. She took to social media to share that her family and pets were safe, thanking everyone for their support: “Grateful for the kindness of friends that we had a place to land last night (…) Praying for everyone in our beautiful city. So gutted for the destruction and loss. Don’t know if our place made it.”
3. Anna Faris
The wildfire didn’t just take out Anna Faris’ $5 million mansion in the upscale Palisades area — it wiped out the entire neighborhood, forcing the whole block to evacuate. The actress and comedian lived there with her husband, Michael, and their kids and stepkids.
A rep told HELLO! magazine [via People] that Anna and her family “are safe and grateful.”
4. Leighton Meester and Adam Brody
Although they fled safely, this famous couple had to watch live footage of their home burning, thanks to TMZ, who published heartbreaking videos of their charred $6.5 million property — its roof swallowed by flames, rooms reduced to rubble, and shattered windows everywhere.
Leighton and Adam purchased the house in 2019 and lived there with their two young children.
5. Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton’s Malibu home was another devastating victim of the wildfire. The socialite’s $8 million vacation property which sadly couldn’t withstand the flames, was originally built in 1955.
On Instagram, the model and singer shared her heartbreak after seeing her house burning on live TV: “This home was where we built so many precious memories.”
6. Anthony Hopkins
Anthony Hopkins also had to make a quick escape from his home in the upscale Pacific Palisades neighborhood. The stunning $6 million colonial-style house was completely destroyed.
This isn’t the first time the 87-year-old actor has faced wildfires — back in 2000 and 2018, Hopkins saw other properties damaged by similar tragedies.
7. Miles and Keleigh Teller
The couple’s 6,600-square-foot home, located between the Palisades Bluffs and Palisades Village, was also reduced to ashes, as the flames took over. Miles and Keleigh had to evacuate quickly, leaving behind their scorched $7.5 million property.
8. Eugene Levy
On Tuesday (January 7), the 78-year-old Schitt’s Creek actor told the Los Angeles Times that he spent a long time stuck in traffic, while trying to evacuate his $3.9 million mansion in Palisades. Unfortunately, Eugene’s home, which he purchased in 2006, was completely destroyed by the horrific flames.
9. Billy Crystal
Billy Crystal expressed his deep sadness regarding the devastating situation in L.A. and opened up about the loss of his $9 million mansion. In a statement, he shared that his heart was broken: “Janice and I lived in our home since 1979. We raised our children and grandchildren here. Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can’t be taken away.”
10. Jamie Lee Curtis
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis evacuated the affected area as soon as she could. Jamie owns a $3 million mansion in Santa Monica, California. On Instagram, she shared: “My community and possibly my home is on fire. My family is safe. Many of my friends will lose their homes. Many other communities as well.”
She also made a plea for people to only share verified news, due to the conflicting information circulating.

11. Ben Affleck
The Batman actor was spotted driving away from his $20 million home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood on Tuesday (January 7). Affleck’s home, which he only purchased in July 2024, is one of the priciest in the area, valued at around $20 million. The actor sought refuge at his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s place in Brentwood, where residents are also on high alert for a potential evacuation.
12. Leonardo DiCaprio
One of Leonardo DiCaprio’s former homes was also destroyed in the wildfires. The mansion, located on Pacific Coast Highway and valued at around $10 million, was the Titanic actor’s home for over 20 years. The area has now been absolutely devastated by the flames.
13. Jhene Aiko
The R&B singer gave her fans an update on January 9th, informing them that she and her son and daughter were safe — but their home had been destroyed. “Me and my children’s home is gone. Burned to the ground with all of our things inside. Lord have mercy. Thankful we still have eachother. Starting from scratch. My heart is so heavy,” she wrote on Instagram.
14. Milo Ventimiglia
In what is an ironic turn of events, actor Milo Ventimiglia’s house also burned down in the Los Angeles fire. The actor played Jack Pearson in This is Us — a character who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. “Life imitating art,” Milo told CBS News. The star shared his heartbreak after his and pregnant wife Jarah Mariano’s home was destroyed in the fire: “You start thinking about all the memories and the different parts of the house and whatnot, and then you see your neighbors’ houses and everything around and your heart just breaks.”
We hope this tragedy comes to an end soon and everyone remains safe and sound.
