Paris Hilton and Billy Crystal are among the celebrities who have reportedly lost their homes in the bushfires.

In an Instagram post, Hilton wrote: “Sitting with my family, watching the news and watching our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience.

“This home is where we built so many precious memories… My heart and prayers go out to every family affected by this fire.”

Actor Billy Crystal told CNN his family is “devastated” by the loss of their home. “Words cannot describe the enormous devastation we are witnessing and experiencing,” he said.

Actor Cameron Mathison also shared a clip of his home being reduced to smoldering ruins.

“We are safe. But this is what is left of our beautiful home,” he wrote.

“Our home, where our children were raised and where they would raise their own one day.”

Earlier today, singer-songwriter Diane Warren posted a photo of the beach near her house, adding that the property she’s owned for nearly three decades was lost in the fire.
