The DJ and heiress revealed the devastation caused by the Pacific Palisades fire in a video shared on Thursday, Jan. 9

The DJ and heiress, 43, revealed on Wednesday, Jan. 8 that she learned her home had been destroyed while watching the news in a live segment.

She shared footage of the property after it was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire in a video shared to Instagram a day later.

“I’m standing here in what used to be our home, and the heartbreak is truly indescribable.💔🥺,” Hilton wrote in the post’s caption. “When I first saw the news, I was in complete shock—I couldn’t process it. But now, standing here and seeing it with my own eyes, it feels like my heart has shattered into a million pieces.😢💔.”

The footage showed that all that appeared to be left was the building’s entrance amid large piles of rubble and collapsed walls. There were also still small fires burning underneath the broken pieces.

She continued, “This house wasn’t just a place to live— It was where we dreamed, laughed, and created the most beautiful memories as a family. “

“It was where Phoenix’s little hands made art that I’ll cherish forever, where love and life filled every corner. To see it reduced to ashes… it’s devastating beyond words.💔,” Hilton said.
