While drought, violent winds and abundant vegetation have contributed to the unprecedented intensity of the fires, Los Angeles is still in the grip of devastating flames. And the homes of stars have not been spared by this meteorological tragedy, which affects thousands of buildings more widely.
The start of 2025 is far from rosy for the City of Angels. Since 7 January, a series of fires has been affecting the South Carolina region. While the origin of the fires is still unknown, the toll continues to rise daily in terms of both human and material losses. More than 12,000 structures, including homes and apartment buildings, have been consumed by the flames. Among them were many multi-million dollar homes owned by celebrities who had taken up residence in the upmarket districts of Los Angeles.
A fire that spares no one
On Instagram, stars of song, film and entertainment shared emotional images and videos of their devastated homes. “We’ve lost everything… There’s nothing left” said Laeticia Hallyday on the social network about her Pacific Palisades villa, now reduced to ashes. “It housed our dreams, our secrets, our promises for tomorrow. But above all, it helped us to get back on our feet, to rebuild ourselves after the unimaginable absence of my husband. This house was our refuge in the chaos of grief, our anchor when everything went wrong.”
