New Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Bozoma Saint John confirmed Thursday that her Malibu home also burnt down.
“This is the house I wanted. The house I prayed for. The house I worked in blood, sweat and tears for. The house that I put a key pad instead of a key hole in the front door because I wanted all my family and friends to have a code and use the house whenever they wanted,” she shared in her post, alongside photos of her and her daughter at the home.
“This is the house where I found peace after battling with racist neighbors and a community that made me have to buy it in a trust within a trust so no one would know that widowed, single Black woman with a teenager was buying on the exclusively-held beach,” she continued. “This was my EFF YOU I’m here house. The house that I built a movie room dedicated to my sister so she could see her films in her own sanctuary. This is the house where I finally felt like I could choose to spend time … when I wanted to and how I wanted to.”
“It is gone,” she wrote. “This is an unimaginable loss. I grieve with the rest of Los Angeles as it burns … and even though I’ve found even words to write here, there’s nothing that I could say in this moment to describe this feeling. I ask for your prayer for Lael and I. God bless you.”
After TMZ reported that Paris Hilton’s Malibu mansion burned down, she took to social media on Wednesday to react to her family’s loss.
“Heartbroken beyond words.
Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience,” she wrote.
“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,” she continued. “While the loss is overwhelming, I’m holding onto gratitude that my family is safe.”
She added that her team is also “reaching out to nonprofit organizations today to figure out how we can best support the communities impacted by these fires,” hoping to make “a meaningful difference for those who need it most.”
“We’re in this together, LA,” she concluded. “Hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight. You never know when everything could change.”
She later shared footage of her evacuating her home with her dogs, remarking that it “literally looks like hell has taken over” as she posted video of a plume of smoke in the distance.
