On Sunday night, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester attended the star-studded 2025 Golden Globes, where Brody was nominated for “Nobody Wants This.”
On Wednesday, according to reports, the celebrity couple was among the many California residents whose houses burned to the ground because of mammoth southern California wildfires. Videos show the apparent rubble and damage the blaze caused to the couple’s $6.5 million home.
The wildfires, which began on Tuesday, have left residents displaced after more than a thousand residences and businesses were destroyed; at least two people are dead. The Associated Press reported that there is a zero per cent chance of containment. Of the three fires, the largest is an almost 3,000-acre blaze in the Pacific Palisades area near Malibu, which is home to many Hollywood stars.
70,000 people were ordered to evacuate from the area, including actors Mark Hamill, Mandy Moore and James Woods.
The fires have also disrupted awards season. On Wednesday, the in-person nomination presentation of the Screen Actors Guild Awards was cancelled. The Critics Choice Awards, originally scheduled for Jan. 12 in Santa Monica, have been postponed until Jan. 26. The Hollywood Reporter reports that production has also halted on shows, including “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Hacks” and “Suits L.A.” The deadline for Oscar nomination voting has been extended by two days.
Here are some of the celebrities who have been affected by the wildfires.
Eugene Levy
Canadian actor and comedian Eugene Levy is among the many who struggled to flee his Pacific Palisades home from the roaring wildfires as evacuators faced gridlock. He confirmed to the L.A. Times that while he couldn’t see the flames, the smoke was “very dark” and “looked pretty black and intense over Temescal Canyon.”
Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard, the former Toronto Raptors player who currently plays on the L.A. Clippers, also lives in the Pacific Palisades after purchasing a $17 million mansion in 2021. According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Leonard will miss the Clippers Wednesday game against the Denver Nuggets to be with his family who have been affected by the fires.
Anna Faris
Anna Faris, known for “Scary Movie” and “The House Bunny,” was displaced from her Pacific Palisades home, which was destroyed by the fire.
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag
Reality TV star couple Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag evacuated their home; Pratt said it is now in ashes. In an Instagram Story, Pratt said his parent’s home was also lost in the fire.
Dianne Warren
Grammy award-winning songwriter Diane Warren posted on her Instagram on Wednesday afternoon to share that her beach house that she lived in for almost three decades was also destroyed in the blaze.
“This is the last pic I took of Leah’s rock from my beach house. I’ve had this house for almost 30 years. It looks like it was lost in the fire last nite. There’s a rainbow shining on it which I’m taking as a sign of hope for all creatures who have been affected by this tragedy,” the post reads.
