Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag’s home burns down in L.A. wildfire: report
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have reportedly lost their home to the wildfire tearing through Los Angeles.
The reality TV stars’ house burned down on Tuesday, according to TMZ.
Located in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, Pratt and Montag’s residence was at the epicenter of the blaze first reported on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. PT.
Sources told TMZ that the house “burned to the ground” but that Pratt, 41, and Montag, 38, were able to evacuate with their entire family safely. An insider also told the outlet the couple are “devastated” by the loss.
Before being evacuated, Pratt posted a video on his Instagram Story showing fire planes dumping water onto a nearby hillside blaze.
The “Hills” alums aren’t the only celebrities affected by the fire, which has torn through the star-studded Pacific Palisades area. James Woods revealed that he had evacuated his home in the area.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency as the fires have burned more than 2,2900 acres, including several homes, and has zero containment as of Tuesday night, according to CalFire.
A red flag warning from the National Weather Service was issued on Monday and is in effect until Wednesday for much of Southern California.
Residents of Pacific Palisades have been told by local officials to “evacuate now.”
However, evacuees heeding the warning faced traffic jams on the roads out of the hillside community, leaving many to ditch their cars as they fled to safety.
The abandoned cars presented a problem for fire crews, who had to bulldoze them out of the way so fire trucks could drive up into the fire zone.
Actor Steven Guttenberg made an impassioned plea on local news station KTLA around noon on Tuesday, begging people who dumped their vehicles on the road to leave their keys so he and others could move them.
“We really need people to move their cars,” he said on the live broadcast. “So if you leave your car behind, leave the key in there so a guy like me can move your car so that these fire trucks can get up there.”
“It’s really, really important,” he added.
Parts of Malibu were also under an evacuation order as of Tuesday evening.
The Post has reached out to Pratt and Montag’s rep for comment.
