It continues to be a devastating week for Southern California as a fast-moving series of wildfires forces residents to evacuate and destroys their homes and communities. The first fire began in the Pacific Palisades on January 7 due to extreme wind and dry conditions, and now, there are five major fires that remain mostly uncontained. During this unspeakably difficult time, it’s important that we all share resources and support those affected however we can — here’s a comprehensive list of resources compiled by Mutual Aid Los Angeles.
As the flames engulf more and more neighborhoods in Los Angeles, many celebrities have been personally affected. Here are all the celebrities who have tragically lost their homes to the Los Angeles fires.

My heart is broken.”
Her caption continued, “The Pacific Palisades is a community very unusual to find in Los Angeles, heavy on families with young children and pets. I’m weeping for all of the people and pets involved, so many of them I know. My heart is breaking for the families who have lost everything, and the people and their animals, not to mention the horses and all the wild animals, people’s businesses and livelihoods. This is just like hell.”

Mandy lost her Altadena home in the fires and shared heavy reflections on Instagram. “I’m in shock and feeling numb for all so many have lost, including my family,” she wrote. “My children’s school is gone.
