Paris Hilton has discussed how ‘overwhelming’ it has been to lose her Malibu home in the Los Angeles wildfires.

Officials reported last night (8 January) that at least five people have been killed and 1,000 structures damaged in the wind-fuelled Pacific Palisades Fires.

Californian residents were told to evacuate the area on Tuesday (7 January), the day the raging embers began.

According to AccuWeather, the fires have already caused an estimated £42 billion to £46 billion in preliminary damage and economic loss.

Paris Hilton, 43, is just one of the thousands affected by the devastating event, taking to social media to reveal she and her family watched their home ‘burn to the ground on live TV’.

In a post shared to Instagram, the businesswoman revealed she was ‘heartbroken beyond words’ and a situation that ‘no one should ever have to experience’.

“This home was where we built so many precious memories. It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London.

“While the loss is overwhelming, I’m holding onto gratitude that my family and pets are safe. My heart and prayers are going out to every family affected by these fires.”

Hilton went on to say she was holding memory for others who had lost their homes, adding: “To all the people who have lost their homes, their memories, and their beloved pets. My heartaches for those still in harm’s way or mourning greater losses. The devastation is unimaginable. To know so many are waking up today without the place they called home is truly heartbreaking.”

The Simple Life star also revealed that members of her 11:11 Media Impact Team - a charitable division of Hilton’s global media company - have already made first contact with a handful of nonprofit organizations to attempt to provide support for those impacted by the wildfires.

"We’re committed to offering help as soon as possible and making a meaningful difference for those who need it most," she added.

The mother-of-two went on to thank the ‘brave’ first responders and the firefighters who were currently on the ground ‘risking their lives to protect’ everyone, remarking: "You are true heroes. I am so grateful for your courage, dedication, and the incredible sacrifices you’re making to save lives and fight this unimaginable battle.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“Let’s protect one another and hold onto hope that these fires will soon be contained,” she concluded. “Sending so much love and strength to all of you. We’re in this together, LA.

“Hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight. You never know when everything could change.”

Hundreds of fans and celebrities alike have flocked to Hilton’s Instagram post to send their condolences, with The Only Way Is Essex’s Vas J Morgan writing: “Sending love to you and everyone else affected.”

“I'm so sorry sis, my heart goes out to you and your beautiful family,” typed socialite Allison Melnick.

“I so very sorry for you and your family @parishilton Sorry for all the people effected by the fire as well. This is truly devastating :(” replied model Cory Bond.
