The number of people who have lost their homes to the L.A. fires, which began Jan. 7 with the Palisades Fire, has continued to rise. The multiple fires have destroyed thousands of homes and businesses, leaving 24 people dead so far.
Fierce Santa Ana winds have been largely blamed for turning the wildfires sparked last week into infernos that leveled entire neighborhoods around the nation’s second-largest city, where there has been no significant rainfall in more than eight months.
In less than a week, four fires have ignited more than 62 square miles (160 square kilometers), roughly three times the size of Manhattan.

« I’m standing here in what used to be our home, and the heartbreak is truly indescribable, » Hilton captioned a video of the devastation. « When I first saw the news, I was in complete shock – I couldn’t process it. But now, standing here and seeing it with my own eyes, it feels like my heart has shattered into a million pieces. This house wasn’t just a place to live – It was where we dreamed, laughed, and created the most beautiful memories as a family. It was where Phoenix’s little hands made art that I’ll cherish forever, where love and life filled every corner. To see it reduced to ashes… it’s devastating beyond words. »

« All My Children » star Cameron Mathison revealed he left behind some « valuable » items when he evacuated his home due to the Eaton Fire. The actor only grabbed passports, birth certificates and photo albums because he « didn’t really believe » he would lose the home.
« I unfortunately left some valuable ones where the kids were very, very young and film that you can’t replace, » Mathison told Entertainment Tonight. « If I really thought the house was going down, I would’ve grabbed so much more. »
Mathison recalled learning his home burned down while watching the news. « I just was sitting there, it was probably 6 in the morning, and I had to go up there, » he continued, saying he bought a mask and protective glasses before going into his neighborhood. « It looked like a war zone. »
The actor realized the family’s home « was all gone » when he arrived. « It was really, really decimated. There’s nothing there. Less than nothing. It’s just all burnt to just ashes. »
