Reality TV star Heidi Montag recently shared a heartfelt Instagram reel, thanking her fans for their overwhelming support after her family’s Pacific Palisades home was destroyed in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires on January 7, 2025. The fire left Montag, her husband Spencer Pratt, and their two sons, Gunner and Ryker, safe but homeless, with the loss of their $3 million residence hitting her particularly hard.
In the reel, Montag expressed her devastation, saying, “It’s still hard to come to terms with losing our home and all the memories we’ve made there. I was at home with the kids when I saw smoke in the distance, and it spread so fast—it was terrifying.” She described the emotional wreckage left behind, admitting, “It’s been a whirlwind of sadness and anger. I just feel devastated knowing everything we built is gone.” Despite escaping with their lives, the reality of the loss has left her reeling.
Yet amidst the grief, Montag found solace in her fans’ response. “So many people have been streaming my music and sharing our story, which has helped us financially and emotionally,” she said. “It’s been overwhelming in the best way.” Her 2010 album Superficial surged to No. 1 on iTunes, providing unexpected financial aid as the family stays with friends while planning their next steps.
Montag also urged others to stay vigilant, advising, “Make sure you have an evacuation plan and your home is fire-resistant.” Her gratitude shone through as she concluded, “Thank you all for your love and support. We’re taking it day by day.” This outpouring of fan support has been a lifeline, turning a moment of despair into one of hope and resilience for the devastated star.
