Over 1,000 buildings have been turned into crispy rubble by the relentless LA fires, forcing more than 30,000 people to pack their bags and evacuate. Among those fleeing the fiery chaos are some of Hollywood’s finest, proving that even fame can’t protect you from Mother Nature’s tantrums.
Tragically, some of these stars didn’t just lose their homes — they lost their designer homes. Cue the tiny violins. Let’s take a look at the famous people who are now Googling “how to build a fireproof mansion.”
James Woods
James Woods had a tearful moment on CNN, lamenting the loss of his Pacific Palisades home.
“One day you’re swimming in your heated pool, sipping on a $12 green juice, and the next day, it’s all gone,” he sobbed. “The fire didn’t even leave the jacuzzi! It was chaos—like an inferno, but less Dante and more disaster movie.”
We hear you, James. Nothing hits harder than losing your infinity pool to an actual infinity of flames.
Adam Brody & Leighton Meester
Hollywood’s golden couple had their Pacific Palisades home reduced to ashes, as seen in footage showing flames partying harder than a Coachella crowd. Black smoke billowed like it was auditioning for a disaster film.
We can only hope they packed their OC and Gossip Girl box sets before evacuating. Priorities, people!
Anna Faris
Anna Faris, America’s comedic sweetheart, saw her entire block leveled by the fire. TMZ reported that her home didn’t stand a chance.
Let’s all collectively pour one out for Anna, who probably lost a treasure trove of hilarious blooper reels and quirky coffee mugs in the blaze.
Diane Warren
Legendary songwriter Diane Warren shared a poetic farewell to her nearly 30-year-old beach house.
“This is the last pic I took of Leah’s rock,” she wrote on Instagram, referencing a sentimental beachside boulder. “The house is gone, but the rainbow shining on it gives me hope… At least the animals and the rescue ranch are safe.”
We’re not crying, YOU’RE crying. Okay, maybe a little. But also, props to Diane for turning her loss into a Hallmark moment.
Spencer Pratt & Heidi Montag
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, aka reality TV’s original drama magnets, lost both their home and Spencer’s parents’ house.
“The fire left our son’s bed in the shape of a heart,” Spencer shared, proving that even fire knows how to be dramatic around these two.
Meanwhile, their Instagram Stories are giving us everything: aerial shots of the devastation, tearful captions, and the kind of existential vibes we’d expect from The Hills: Apocalypse Edition.
Cameron Mathison
Cameron Mathison, of All My Children fame, also confirmed his home’s fiery demise.
“This is what’s left of our beautiful home,” he shared, alongside a photo of what can only be described as a scene from Mad Max. “This is where our kids grew up and dreamed of raising their own someday. Thanks to everyone who checked in!”
Cameron, you’re officially the guy we’d want making a moving speech during a movie’s dramatic finale.
Final Thoughts
While these celebs have lost their glamorous homes, their spirits remain as strong as their Instagram game. Here’s hoping the road to rebuilding is paved with insurance payouts, designer contractors, and a touch of Hollywood magic.
Meanwhile, let’s take a moment to appreciate the everyday heroes: the firefighters and rescue teams who are out there risking it all. Now that’s the kind of celebrity status we can all admire.
