Kim Kardashian’s mansion is in danger of burning up amidst the Pacific Palisades fire that is currently ravaging its way through the once-pristine area.
Her property, which includes a tennis court, private beach access, and five bedrooms, is dangerously close to the fire, which is still at zero percent containment. Kardashian purchased the home from supermodel Cindy Crawford in 2022, and today, its estimated value sits at $70 million.
Kardashian is hardly the only celebrity with a home in harm’s way. The Pacific Palisades is known for housing many celebrities as it offers breathtaking views of the beach and lavish properties. And while Kardashian may be fortunate enough to avoid the flames for now, many others have not.
Actor Eugene Levy’s home was completely destroyed, as were married reality star couple Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag. Pratt posted a video of himself while watching his son’s room burn via the security camera. Others, including Jamie Lee Curtis and Billy Crystal, have watched their homes get destroyed.
Adam Brody, Anna Farris, Paris Hilton, Ben Affleck, and several others all evacuated their homes only to see them damaged or completely destroyed. Comedian John Goodman of Roseanne fame has lost his home.
The Pacific Palisades was founded just over 100 years ago and is largely residential. Located about 20 miles west of Los Angeles, it’s situated next to Malibu which is equally known for its beautiful beaches. The median home value lies around $3.5 million making it one of the most expensive zip codes in the country.
The Palisades fire has destroyed over 17 thousand acres, making it the largest wildfire in LA history, with an estimated $10 billion in damages. Crews have been working day and night to put out the fires, but are strruggling as some wind gusts of 60-80 miles an hour are going through the areas affected.
Fire planes were finally able to take to the sky yesterday to dump much-needed water on the fires, but not before being grounded for the first 24 hours due to the high winds. A water shortage has also affected crews in the Pacific Palisades as all fire hydrants were used to their capacity, leaving little to no water pressure for the fire trucks.
Just 30 miles away, more Californians are dealing with their homes and neighborhoods burning as well. The area of Altadena, which is just east of Pasadena, also faces a more than 10-thousand-acre fire with zero containment.
Singer and actress Mandy Moore posted that her home she shared with her husband and their three children was destroyed. She says, “Grateful for my family and pets getting out last night before it was too late (and endless gratitude to friends for taking us in and bringing us clothes and blankets). My children’s school is gone. Our favorite restaurants leveled. So many friends and loved one have lost everything too.”
