Celebrities Impacted by the 2025 Los Angeles Wildfires

Southern California has been reeling from one of its worst wildfire seasons in history, with destructive fires wreaking havoc across Los Angeles and surrounding areas. The blazes, fueled by the infamous Santa Ana winds, have left many communities devastated, including Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and Altadena. Unfortunately, some of Hollywood's most beloved stars have not been spared. Several A-list celebrities have found their homes destroyed or severely impacted by the fires, and many have shared their personal heartbreak through social media. Here's a look at some of the high-profile figures affected.

Tyra Banks

While in Australia, Tyra Banks received devastating news about the destruction of her Los Angeles home. She shared on an Australian morning show, "I haven't really talked about it but, yeah, I have [lost my home]." Despite the loss, Tyra remains relatively private about her situation, but she expressed that she had mementos and essentials with her in Australia, which softened the blow. Nevertheless, the emotional toll of losing a home cannot be understated.

Zooey and Emily Deschanel

The Deschanel sisters, Zooey and Emily, lost the historic home in Pacific Palisades where they grew up. Zooey wrote a heartfelt tribute to the house, which held generations of family memories, including photos, furniture, and personal heirlooms. "The family photos that lined the hallways, the artwork, the piano I learned to play on, the wedding china... all have vanished into thin air," she shared, revealing the emotional weight of the loss.

Milo Ventimiglia

Milo Ventimiglia and his wife, who is expecting their first child, watched in horror as their Malibu home was engulfed in flames. The This Is Us actor shared that they were able to track the destruction through their home security system, which added an extra layer of trauma to the ordeal. While they were fortunate to escape safely, the experience was nonetheless heartbreaking.

The Kardashians

The Kardashian-Jenner clan, known for their luxurious multi-million-dollar estates in Calabasas, were also forced to evacuate. Kim, Kris, Kourtney, Khloé, Rob, Kendall, and Kylie all had to leave their homes to ensure their safety. While the family hasn’t shared specific details about their properties, they have been vocal about helping others affected by the fires and providing resources for donations.

Leighton Meester and Adam Brody

The couple, known for their roles in Gossip Girl and The O.C., suffered the loss of their $6.5 million Pacific Palisades home. The pair had only recently walked the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards before receiving news that their home had burned to the ground.

Mel Gibson

Actor-director Mel Gibson experienced the loss of his home while recording a podcast with Joe Rogan. The Los Angeles wildfires were a source of unease for Gibson, who found out the next day that his house had indeed been destroyed. Though he tried to make light of the situation by joking about the plumbing issues he no longer had to worry about, the loss was deeply emotional for the actor, who had spent years building memories in the home.

Miles and Keleigh Teller

The Teller couple, who had their Pacific Palisades home wiped out in the fires, shared their gratitude and thanks for the community support they’ve received. Keleigh Teller posted a heartfelt message on Instagram about the love they’ve received from the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, vowing to come back stronger after the devastating loss.

Anthony Hopkins

Oscar-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins was no stranger to the ravaging effects of wildfires, having lost his London home in 2020. Unfortunately, his Pacific Palisades property didn’t escape the 2025 wildfires, either. Hopkins narrowly avoided the 2018 fire that threatened his Malibu residence, but this time, he was not so lucky.

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton's Malibu home, which held special memories for her family, was another casualty of the wildfires. Hilton described the devastation, saying, "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." While she expressed overwhelming sadness, Hilton found solace in the safety of her family.

Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck’s $20 million bachelor pad in Pacific Palisades was not spared from the fires. The actor, who had only recently moved into the home, was forced to evacuate. In the aftermath, he stayed with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner for safety.

The Reality for Those Without Celebrity Resources

While celebrities like Tyra Banks, Zooey Deschanel, and Ben Affleck can likely rely on their immense wealth and resources to recover from the damage caused by the wildfires, the same cannot be said for ordinary residents of Los Angeles. For many, losing a home in such catastrophic fires is a life-altering event, with rebuilding costs, insurance challenges, and emotional strain weighing heavily. While celebrities may have the means to find temporary shelter and rebuild swiftly, countless residents lack those same privileges. The inequality in resources highlights the urgent need for broader support for all those impacted by such devastating natural disasters.
