Los Angeles, home to many Hollywood stars, fires have undoubtedly impacted many celebrities in addition to the millions who have lost their homes. These celebrities took to social media to not only share their story but to help others in need.

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton's beachfront Malibu home was destroyed by the Palisades fires. On X and Instagram, Hilton wrote: “Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience.” As a result, Hilton launched an emergency fund through her non-profit 11:11 Media Impact which, as of January 15th, has raised over $800,000. Hilton also pledged a $150,000 grant to GoFundMe to provide cash assistance to 150 Altadena families who have lost their homes. Moreover, Hilton has helped our furry friends, volunteering at a local animal shelter, the Pasadena Humane Society, to aid animals who have been separated from their families in the fires.
