Spencer Pratt is coming to the defense of fellow Los Angeles wildfire victim Mandy Mooreafter criticism over a recent GoFundMe plea on behalf of her in-laws.
“Let me tell you about Mandy Moore. Mandy Moore, when I was younger, shout-out Mandy Moore. She booked my hotel for me because she was such a nice friend. Just as a friend, she booked my hotel in New York — I had never been to New York. I feel like she even booked my flight because I was so much fun to be around. Mandy Moore, I will ride for Mandy Moore,” Pratt, 41, said in a TikTok posted on Saturday, January 11. “ If I see one more TikTok about Mandy Moore and GoFundMes, I’m going to start coming after you guys. You want beef with your worst nightmare, which is me right now? You post about Mandy Moore. I will ride for Mandy Moore.”
“Yesterday, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law Griff and Kit [Goldsmith] lost their home and everything they own in the Eaton Fire,” the This Is Us alum wrote via Instagram on Thursday, January 9. “With their first baby on the way in a matter of weeks, they need our support now more than ever.”
Some users had apparently taken issue with a celebrity asking for money, to which Moore said, “And people questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money Google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic. Of course we are. Our buddy Matt [Koma] started this go fund me [sic] and i’m sharing because people have asked how they can help them. We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF. No one is forcing you to do anything.”
Pratt stood by Moore in his video post, reasserting she’s “the nicest frickin’ lady ever.”
“Mandy Moore doesn’t do anything wrong,” he said, noting he’s known her for two decades. “If you were nice in 2004, you’re still nice in 2025. Like I’m talking so nice. So, don’t you dare come for Mandy Moore.”
He continued, “Maybe delete your content about Mandy Moore because Mandy Moore is a real one.She’s a great human. She’s not doing anything out of pocket — she’s posting GoFundMes, that’s great. She doesn’t have to pay for whoever. She’s got her own life, probably her own kids, so don’t you come for Mandy Moore.”

Moore, who shares three kids with her husband, Dawes frontman Taylor Goldsmith, lost part of her home in the wildfires. “We were able to park and walk up our street to bear witness to all the loss. Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing. For now,” Moore wrote on Instagram on Thursday.
She added, “It’s not livable but mostly intact. We lost Taylor and Griffin’s studio with every instrument and piece of equipment they’ve ever owned. We lost our garage and back house. Everyone we know lost everything. Every house on our street is gone. My in-laws. My brother and sister-in-law- 6 weeks from welcoming their first baby. Our best friends. Feeling weird survivor’s guilt. We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support. Thanks for everyone for checking on us and offering us help. Altadena strong.”
Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag, also lost their Pacific Palisades home in the blaze, which first broke out on Tuesday, January 7. The Hills alums said by the time their house burned down, they had already evacuated with their two children, sons Gunner, 6, and Ryker, 13 months.
In a video shared by Montag, 38, via TikTok on Thursday, the couple revealed the few items that remained of their house after the fire, which were all contained in a single plastic bag.
“The Hummingbird pot — with some nectar cooked into it,” Pratt said in the video, along with “one [rubber] snake from the backyard, one crystal from the backyard, [another] crystal from the backyard, Ryker’s shovel from the backyard and broken pieces.” (Pratt owns a Pratt Daddy Crystals business.)
Other celebrities, including Miles Teller, Ricki Lake, Bryan Greenberg and Jamie Chung, lost homes in the natural disaster, as well.
“Was supposed to be our forever home, but nothing lasts forever,” Greenberg, 46, shared on Instagram. “Thankfully our family is safe, however, other LA fire victims aren’t as fortunate. Please donate to them if you can.”
“When we switched into an anthology, it really fit what Goosebumps is. So if you’re fan of the books, you know that R.L. Stine doesn’t write happily ever after at the end of the books,” executive producer Rob Letterman exclusively told Us Weekly. “In fact, he goes out of his way not to do that. He leaves it with a cliffhanger or a twist.”
The Disney+ series adapted the same approach on screen. “When we looked at the ending of season 1, it just kind of felt like the perfect Goosebumps ending for what that story line was,” Letterman said about switching the story up for season 2.
Goosebumps, which premiered in October 2023, was introduced as a show that followed five teenagers who had to work together after accidentally releasing supernatural forces into their small town. The first season featured Isa Briones, Ana Yi Puig, Zack Morris, Miles McKenna and Will Price as the show’s protagonists.
The show was in for a shakeup though when it turned into an anthology. Season 2 centered around twins (Sam McCarthy and Jayden Bartels) who are sent to spend a summer in Brooklyn with their divorced dad (David Schwimmer) whose plant-testing takes a sinister turn.
“Season 2 we wanted to swing the pendulum and do something different. But we also wanted fans of the first season to feel comfortable in the model of what the storytelling was. So that’s how we kept that structure of a mystery we have to unpack,” Letterman told Us. “We liked that framing device but we wanted to tell something totally new and fresh. It’s a nice balancing act for keeping the familiarity of the Goosebumps TV series going while doing it as an anthology.”

The second installment was released on Friday, January 11, and it took inspiration from several books including Stay Out of the Basement, The Ghost Next Door, The Boy Who Cried Monster, Monster Blood and The Haunted Car. While the main friend group — which was made up of Elijah M. Cooper, Galilea La Salvia, Francesca Noel, Stony Blyden, McCarthy and Bartels — were able to defeat the evil, the season still hinted that the sinister parts at play were still a threat.
So will season 3 be able to answer any questions audiences were left with after the finale? “We don’t think that far into the future. We’re one day at a time process,” Letterman noted to Us. “But yes, of course, and you can do anything you want with Goosebumps. That is what is cool about it.”
According to Letterman and fellow executive producer Hilary Winston, there could even be a Goosebumps “multiverse.” The cast, meanwhile, also weighed in on whether they would return for future episodes despite signing onto an anthology show.
“There are so many stories and it really depends on what the fans want and how they respond,” Noel hinted to Us. “We are here for it. We love these characters and obviously I think the last season also loved their characters. The world is big and we’re here to play.”
Goosebumps is currently streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
“The great @tylerhenrymedium called it! Less than three months ago, on Oct 15th, 2024, Ross [Burningham] and I were on Tyler’s show and guys, he SAW the fire,” Lake, 56, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, January 11. “Praying for all those impacted by this ongoing nightmare, including my new friend, @tylerhenrymedium and @rachaelharris whose homes I hear may be at risk.”
Lake and husband Burningham, 57, were guests on an October 2024 episode of Netflix’s Live From the Other Side With Tyler Henry.
“I urge you to watch it,” Lake concluded on Saturday. “Omg.”
In each episode of the live special, Henry, 28, meets with a different celebrity guest and a panel of their loved ones for a spontaneous reading. During Lake’s segment, he predicted that a fire would take place.
“There might end up being a coincidence where, not only do we lose everything, something,” Henry speculated. “I think this might have already happened. If there was a loss of material objects from both fire and water. It’s too separate things. We’re gonna end up finding there’s a story where there was a house fire or something along those lines; a fire risk. … There’s something about watching water seepage into places it shouldn’t and damaging [pictures].”
Lake’s home was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades wildfire earlier this week.
“1/7/25 The day we lost our home. ,” she wrote via Instagram several days later on Thursday, January 9. “Timeline of our efforts to save our beloved home in Malibu: 11:24 am early signs of smoke in Temescal Canyon, 11:54 am setting up our fire defense system, 4:10 pm Ross hosing down our neighbor’s palm tree (baller move), 6:17 pm Ross attempting to siphon gas for the fire defense system motor. (Even bigger baller move, though it didn’t work.) , 6:55 do we stay or do we go?”
Less than two hours later, Lake and her husband “surrendered [their] efforts” and evacuated the area.
“Grateful to have made it out alive and uninjured. Forever grateful to @kirbykotler_ our absolute angel,” Lake wrote on Thursday. “He did everything to try to save our precious property. No doubt had we stayed, we would not have survived. Sharing for all who have been asking. Thank you for the love and well wishes.”
She concluded, “Again, please pray for those impacted by this catastrophic event and help if you are able.”
After remembering Henry’s prediction and sharing it on social media, it also struck Live From the Other Side cohost Amanda Kloots.
“This is WILD,” Kloots, 42, wrote via Instagram Story on Saturday. “@RickiLake losing her home in a fire in October on our show Live From the Other Side.”

“This image hits me hard in the heart today. This is a photo taken of my front porch in 2018 after losing our house in the Woolsey fires,” Cyrus, 32, wrote in a social media message on Saturday, January 11, sharing a picture of the rubble. “It’s a feeling you don’t ever forget. Walking up to the door you would pass through daily, looking forward to being greeted by the ones you love like you always do but instead being met by a pile of ash and rubble.”
Cyrus continued, “My soul aches for those who are experiencing this devestation [sic] firsthand and I cry for my city. It’s beyond heartbreaking. Los Angeles represents ‘living the dream’ but the reality today is wreckage and destruction.”
The Grammy winner also shared a link to the Malibu Foundation, a nonprofit that helps victims rebuild after wildfires, and a handful of other GoFundMe campaigns for specific victims.
“Time, resources and dedication from inside and outside of our community will heal us, but it hurts deeply for now,” Cyrus concluded her Saturday note.
A string of wildfires broke out in Los Angeles on Tuesday, January 7, rapidly devastating thousands of acres of property across surrounding neighborhoods. Many celebrities and other residents have lost their homes to the blaze. Others, meanwhile, left the city limits following mandatory or voluntary evacuation orders.
It is not publicly known whether Cyrus’ current residence was affected by the ongoing natural disaster, but one of her previous houses was burnt to the ground in a 2018 fire. At the time, Cyrus was married to actor Liam Hemsworth. (Cyrus and Hemsworth, 34, split in 2019, finalizing their divorce the next year.)

“It’s been a heartbreaking few days. This is what’s left of my house. Love,” Hemsworth wrote via Instagram in November 2018, sharing an image of their front porch and a “Love” sign. “Many people in Malibu and surrounding areas in California have lost their homes also and my heart goes out to everyone who was affected by these fires.”
He continued at the time, “Malibu is a strong community and this event is only going to make it stronger. Thankful for all the great local guys [who] helped keep smaller fires out around my property. I love u guys. I love you, Malibu. Thank you to all the hero firefighters around California.”
Cyrus and Hemsworth had evacuated with their menagerie of pets.
“My brother Luke called and said, ‘Get ready, they’re going to issue an evacuation.’ The whole time that I was packing up these animals, I had moments where I’m like, ‘It’s not going to get this far; this is a waste of time, and my house isn’t going to burn down,’” Hemsworth recalled to Men’s Health in a 2020 profile. “And, of course, it did burn down, and it was a s—-y thing to live through.”
While the then-couple and their animals were all safe, he added to the outlet that “pretty much everything” left in the house was “replaceable to a point.”
Three years later, Cyrus appeared to reference their relationship and the fire in her Grammy-winning 2023 single, “Flowers.”
“We were right ’til we weren’t / Built a home and watched it burn,” she sings in the opening stanza. “Mm, I didn’t wanna leave you / I didn’t wanna lie / Started to cry, but then remembered / I can buy myself flowers.”
Cyrus and Hemsworth have since moved on with Maxx Morando and Gabriella Brooks, respectively.
