The wildfires in Los Angeles in January 2025 have become one of the most devastating fire events in the city's history. Multiple fires, including the Palisades, Eaton, and Kenneth fires, have burned across Southern California, fueled largely by the fierce Santa Ana winds and historically dry conditions.
These fires have collectively burned over 35,000 acres of land, destroyed more than 10,000 structures, and claimed at least 10 lives. Some of the homes burned included those belonging to celebrities.
Below is a list of stars whose homes were either impacted or tragically lost in the flames.
