Many of Hollywood’s elite were affected after a series of wildfires ravaged Los Angeles in January — particularly in the Palisades and Eaton regions.
At the time, California’s governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency, with over 100,000 Los Angeles residents evacuating their homes.
Among those impacted were Paris Hilton, whose Malibu beachfront property was levelled.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, Heidi Klum, Anna Faris, Miles and Keleigh Teller, Anthony Hopkins and Eugene Levy all lost their Pacific Palisades homes, too.
Others, including Britney Spears, were forced to temporarily evacuate their lavish estates amid the chaos.
