Paris Hilton was among the many celebrities who recently lost their home to the Los Angeles wildfires.

The media personality, businesswoman, and activist took to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to share her thoughts. Hilton claimed that she and her family were left "heartbroken" after witnessing her Malibu home "burn to the ground" on TV. In the post, the actress also wrote about her memories of the house with her kids,

"This home was where we built so many precious memories. It's where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London."

Being grateful for her family's safety, Paris Hilton added,

"While the loss is overwhelming, I'm holding onto gratitude that my family is safe. My heart and prayers are going out to every family affected by these fires. To all the people who have lost their homes, their memories, and their beloved pets. My heartaches for those still in harm's way or mourning greater losses. The devastation is unimaginable. To know so many are waking up today without the place they called home is truly heartbreaking."

She also uploaded a clip of a news report from the channel ABC 7, which covered the damage done by the Palisades fire to the structures on PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) in Pacific Palisades. The news report also revealed Hilton's burnt-down house.

The fire has burnt more than 17,234 acres of area and is still growing rapidly due to the Santa Ana winds. Other regions in Southern California have also faced wildfires, which have damaged a significant number of properties.

The Eaton fire, which broke after the wildfire in Palisades, has also claimed the lives of five people.
