Devastating wildfires in Los Angeles have led to massive losses, including celebrity homes and tragic personal stories
Los Angeles: The wildfires tearing through the city have caused an estimated $50 billion in damage. That’s about £40 billion! Sadly, many celebrity homes have been lost.
It’s heartbreaking to see well-known figures facing such personal losses. At least ten lives have been claimed, and officials are worried that strong winds could make things worse.
One notable victim is Candy Spelling, a famous author and producer. Her stunning $24 million home on Malibu’s Pacific Coast Highway is believed to be gone.
Candy shared her shock with TMZ, saying she’s still processing this huge loss. She feels grateful for the memories made in that house, which was a special gift for her family.
She also mentioned that her late husband, Aaron Spelling, had cherished the home. It’s a tough blow for her and her loved ones.
Her friend Josh Flagg expressed his devastation, recalling all the memories they shared there. He emphasized that while the house is lost, the memories will always remain.
Meanwhile, Tom Hanks’ $26 million house in Pacific Palisades narrowly escaped the flames. That’s a close call for the beloved actor!
According to Accuweather, the total losses could reach between $52 billion and $57 billion. It’s staggering to think about the impact of these fires.
Over 2,000 structures have been destroyed, and around 180,000 people are under evacuation orders as six wildfires rage across Los Angeles County.
The high winds, reaching up to 100 mph, have made it tough for firefighters to battle the flames from the air. It’s a challenging situation for everyone involved.
Due to the fires, some award ceremonies have been postponed, including the AFI Awards that were set for Friday. It’s a tough time for the community.
