Spencer Pratt shares ‘nightmare’ moment devastating LA fires destroyed his family home

Spencer Pratt has shared the 'nightmare' moment the devastating wildfire in Los Angeles destroyed his and Heidi Montag's family home.

The wildfire ripped through the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood, engulfing their property - in which the on-screen couple raised their two sons, Gunner and Ryker - in fire and smoke.

Thankfully, however, the married pair - who shot to fame in the early noughties after being cast for reality docu-series The Hills before wedding in 2008 - managed to escape the property earlier on Tuesday (7 January) along with their children.

Prior to their evacuation, 41-year-old Spencer took to social media to share footage of just how destructive the force of the fire was with one TikTok video posted earlier today (8 January), showing the roaring flames burning through his home.

"Oh wow, it's back there!" the reality TV star said in the clip panning an image of the blaze over the top of a fence.

As the fire drew closer, he declared: "For real ... let's go!"

Spencer captioned the unsettling clip: "Nightmare came true."

He had previously posted a video showing the wildfire in the distance, explaining just how close it was to the neighbourhood: "We got a fire going on behind the house here, say a prayer for the Palisades here, there's the town, there is the fire..."

Spencer then pointed out a helicopter, asking: "Where are the airplanes that drop the water?"

"That's pretty black smoke, should go home and start packing up the house," he added.

In another video posted to his Instagram, Los Angeles Fire Department officials could be seen attempting to control the fire encroaching onto Spencer and his family's home from across the mountains.

On his story, firefighters could be seen attempting to douse the fire with water being dropped from above by emergency airplanes.

Sadly, however, their attempt was to no avail, and their property was among those in the Palisades area that was burned to the ground.

Spencer's sister and former Made In Chelsea star Stephanie Pratt also took to social media to confirm the fate of her brother's home.

Revealing she'd been in London when the fires broke out, she shared a photo of Spencer where the fires could be seen in the background.

"I am beyond heartbroken for my brother, Heidi & the kids," she wrote. "And to all of our friends and neighbours who have lost their houses today.

"Just spoke to my dad - he tried to save my brother's house but the wind is so strong there was nothing he could do. Even the fire station in the palisades has burned down. The Pacific Palisades is completely on fire. No one is there."

Stephanie, 38, went on to explain: "My parents evacuated safely and are watching the fire rage towards their house on security cameras. I don't even want to look at mine as my dad told me the Market down the street from my house is on fire."

The cause of this week's wildfire currently remains unknown.

Red flag warnings across the majority of Southern California remain in place until Thursday afternoon (9 January).
