Paris Hilton, despite the personal tragedy of losing her Malibu home in the recent Los Angeles wildfires, has turned her focus toward helping those who have been displaced.

The 43-year-old socialite and philanthropist shared some positive news about the emergency fund she and her nonprofit, 11:11 Media Impact, have set up to assist families and their pets affected by the devastating fires.

Raising Funds for Displaced Families

In a recent Instagram post, Hilton revealed that her emergency fund had already raised an impressive $800,000 in just 72 hours.

She thanked her supporters and encouraged people to keep donating, with hopes of reaching $1 million.

“Thank you to everyone who has shown your support for our city!” she wrote.

In addition to the fund, Paris has also made a personal donation of $150,000 to GoFundMe’s Wildfire Relief Fund to provide immediate help for families in Altadena who lost their homes.

Hilton explained that cash assistance provides dignity and choice, allowing families to decide what they need most during this crisis.

Helping Pets and Reuniting Families

Along with her financial contributions, Paris has also helped with the Pasadena Humane Society’s efforts to reunite pets with their families.

One heartwarming story involved a cat separated from its owner during the Eaton Fire in Altadena.

Hilton visited the shelter to check on the cat and asked her followers to help locate its owner.

Her involvement has been a touching reminder of the many lives, both human and animal, affected by these fires.

Matching Donations and Volunteering

Hilton has also pledged to match any additional donations raised, up to $100,000.
She expressed her personal connection to the situation, particularly as a mother of two young children.

“My heart is with everyone impacted by the devastating fires here in LA,” Hilton shared.

“While I’ve lost my Malibu home, my thoughts are with the countless families who have lost so much more — their homes, cherished keepsakes, the communities they loved, and their sense of stability.”

Impact of the Fires and Celebrity Losses

The ongoing wildfires in Southern California have forced over 130,000 people to evacuate, with at least 24 lives lost so far.

Several high-profile celebrities, including Anthony Hopkins, Billy Crystal, and Mandy Moore, have also tragically lost their homes in the flames.

For Paris Hilton, the fire that destroyed her Malibu house hit especially close to home, as she and her husband, Carter Reum, had lived there for nearly four years.

Heartbreak and Gratitude Amid the Loss

Paris took to Instagram to share her heartbreak over losing the property, which she described as a place where she had built precious memories with her family.

“This home was where we built so many precious memories,” she wrote.

“It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London.”

Despite the overwhelming loss, Hilton expressed gratitude that her family was safe and extended her thoughts and prayers to those still affected by the fires.

Paris Hilton’s wildfire relief fund has provided much-needed assistance to countless families, offering them the chance to rebuild during one of the most difficult times in their lives.

Her efforts continue to inspire others to contribute and help those in need in the wake of these devastating wildfires.
