Paris Hilton Documents Emotional Visit to Burned Down L.A. Home
Paris Hilton is sharing an emotional update after her Los Angeles home burned down in fires sweeping the area.
On Thursday, January 9, Hilton, 43, shared a video of her visiting what remains of her home via Instagram, showing the devastation caused by the fires which began Tuesday, January 7, and have ravaged parts of L.A., including the Pacific Palisades, Malibu and the Hollywood Hills.
“I’m standing here in what used to be our home, and the heartbreak is truly indescribable.,” Hilton captioned the video of the wreckage of her home. “When I first saw the news, I was in complete shock—I couldn’t process it. But now, standing here and seeing it with my own eyes, it feels like my heart has shattered into a million pieces.”
“This house wasn’t just a place to live— It was where we dreamed, laughed, and created the most beautiful memories as a family. It was where Phoenix’s little hands made art that I’ll cherish forever, where love and life filled every corner. To see it reduced to ashes… it’s devastating beyond words,” she continued, referring to son Phoenix, who turns 2 this month. (Hilton also shares daughter London, 12 months, with husband Carter Reum.)
In the caption, Hilton shared her sympathies with other Los Angeles residents who have lost their homes, noting, “It’s not just walls and roofs—it’s the memories that made those houses homes. It’s the photos, the keepsakes, the irreplaceable pieces of our lives.”
However, the former reality star and DJ acknowledged that she is “incredibly lucky.”

On Wednesday, January 8, the Paris and Nicole: The Encore star shared via Instagram that she was among the many celebrities who had lost their homes in the fires. Hilton wrote that her home was “where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London.”
