Heidi Montag, the reality star known for her role in The Hills, was overcome with emotion this morning after learning that her family home in Pacific Palisades had been destroyed in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
The house, which she shared with her husband Spencer Pratt and their two young sons, was completely engulfed in flames on Tuesday.
Heartbreaking Reaction and Grief
In a raw and emotional Snapchat video, Heidi filmed herself sobbing as she processed the loss of her home.
“I have no words… I’m so thankful that we’re safe,” she said, her voice trembling as her two-year-old son Ryker tried to comfort her.
Through her tears, Heidi expressed how deeply saddened she was by the destruction.
“I didn’t think it would be the last time we would be in our house,” she continued, clearly struggling to come to terms with the loss.
Her grief was palpable as she reflected on what was lost, sharing how she wished she could’ve done more before evacuating.
“I wish I could have gone back and got more,” she said, adding that she regretted not taking her son Gunner’s art before fleeing the fire.
Later in the day, Heidi filmed herself again, explaining that her sorrow was “coming in waves” as she longed to return to the familiar comforts of home.
“I just want to go home.
I just want to feel my stuff and sit on my couch.
I’m so homesick,” she tearfully admitted.
A Family Home Lost in the Blaze
The $3 million mansion, which had previously been featured on The Hills: New Beginnings, was completely destroyed by the flames.
Fortunately, Heidi, Spencer, and their sons were able to evacuate in time, escaping the immediate danger.
Spencer shared his own experience, posting a video to Instagram that showed an airplane dropping water on a nearby mountain as firefighters worked to contain the fire.
In one somber video, Spencer was seen standing with a group of people, watching as the flames drew closer to their home.
As the fire approached, Spencer appeared visibly shaken, brushing his eyes, likely due to smoke and flying debris.
The footage captured the overwhelming sounds of wind and fire as the group witnessed the terrifying advance of the flames.
One person was heard urging people to evacuate immediately, but despite the urgency, others in the area seemed less concerned, even laughing as the fire neared.
A Family’s Heartbreak Continues
Tragically, the fire did not stop at Heidi and Spencer’s home.
Spencer later revealed that his parents’ home in Pacific Palisades had also been destroyed in the blaze.
Additionally, his younger sister, Stephanie, feared that her home might be lost as well.
Stephanie shared her distress on Instagram, posting an image of the streets of Pacific Palisades engulfed in flames, urging her followers to pray for the area.
“I don’t know if it’s a good thing I’m in London or I need to get back to LA,” she wrote, clearly overwhelmed by the uncertainty. “I can’t think straight.
What do I do? Honestly looking for advice.
I’m frozen in shock.” She went on to express concern for her nephews, who had witnessed their family home disappear in front of them.
“They must be so scared and confused,” she said, adding that while her own loss of possessions was devastating, it paled in comparison to the emotional toll of losing years of family memories.
The Star-Studded Neighborhood in Crisis
The Pacific Palisades area, home to numerous celebrities including Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks, Reese Witherspoon, and Adam Sandler, has been severely impacted by the wildfires.
As homes in the area continue to burn, the neighborhood that once symbolized celebrity luxury is now facing the harsh reality of destruction.
Many residents, including Heidi, Spencer, and their family, are grappling with the loss of not just property, but cherished memories and personal history.
