In a heartbreaking turn of events, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester’s family home in the upscale Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles was completely destroyed by a fierce wildfire on Wednesday, 8 January 2025.
The once beautiful property, purchased by the couple in 2019 for $6.5 million, was left in ruins as flames ravaged the house, leaving only smoldering remains behind.
The roof was burned away, windows shattered, and black smoke billowed from the structure, with the property reduced to a smoking wreck.
Tragic Impact of the Wildfires
The fire, which broke out on Tuesday, 7 January, amidst strong winds and dry conditions, has had a devastating impact on the region.
At least two people have been confirmed dead, with many others suffering significant injuries.
Over 30,000 people have been forced to evacuate their homes, often leaving behind everything except their pets and a few personal belongings.
The once-popular Sunset Boulevard in the Palisades area was overwhelmed with abandoned luxury vehicles, as residents fled on foot to escape the approaching flames.
Celebrities Among Those Affected
The wildfire has not spared the homes of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Adam and Leighton, who were last seen attending the Golden Globe Awards just two days before the fire, were living in the house with their two young children.
Their five-bedroom, six-bathroom home, which spanned over 6,000 square feet, was just one of many high-end properties destroyed by the blaze.
Other celebrities, including Ben Affleck, Mandy Moore, and Reese Witherspoon, have also been affected by the fires, with some forced to evacuate.
Jamie Lee Curtis, who was unsure whether her own home had survived, shared her concerns on social media.
The Fires Spread Quickly
As the fire spread at an alarming rate—covering three football field lengths per minute—entire blocks of expensive homes were obliterated.
A stretch of beachfront properties along Pacific Coast Highway was also destroyed.
The fire reached the Getty Villa, but officials assured the public that the art and artifacts housed there were safe.
Meanwhile, the Eaton fire in Pasadena added to the chaos, causing further casualties and prompting the evacuation of a senior center.
Social Media Reactions from Concerned Celebrities
In the wake of the destruction, several celebrities have taken to social media to express their concern and offer support.
Paris Hilton, Hailey Bieber, Elle Fanning, and Chris Pratt have all shared their thoughts and prayers for those affected by the devastating wildfires.
Chris Pratt, in particular, thanked the brave firefighters working tirelessly to protect lives and property, urging his followers to support one another in this difficult time.
As the fires continue to ravage the area, residents and celebrities alike are rallying together to support one another and aid in the recovery efforts, while still facing the uncertainty of whether their homes will survive the ongoing disaster.
