The wildfires this week have officially grown to become the most destructive fires in Los Angeles history. As people across all different neighborhoods throughout the city process the damage, a number of celebrities have come forward to reveal they’ve lost their homes due to the devastation.
On Thursday, Jan. 9, Jhené Aiko took to social media to reveal that she lost her home in the fires. According to her announcement, it “burned to the ground” and she is now focusing on “starting from scratch.”
“Praying for everyone this morning,” the singer wrote on Instagram. “Those who lost their home. those who lost their life’s work, those who lost their life. praying for my city. praying for the wild life and lost pets. praying for the world. let suffering be a gift; a lesson in compassion.”
After sending her prayers for everyone in Los Angele effected by the wildfires, Aiko continued in the next slide by revealing that her house is no longer standing. But, regardless of losing everything, she’s grateful that she and her family are safe.
“Me and my children’s home is gone. burned to the ground with all of our things inside. Lord have mercy,” she wrote. “Thankful we still have eachother. starting from scratch. My heart is so heavy.”
Jhené Aiko is a mother to her first born daughter, Namiko Love Browner, 16, and shares her son Noah, 2, with her longtime love Big Sean. The Twenty88 collaborators welcomed their first child together in November 2022.
The “Stay Ready” singer is just one of many celebs–among tens of thousands of other people–who have lost their homes due to these fires. Though some fans entered the comments section to give their two cents, insisting celebrities losing their homes isn’t something to cry over, Jhené responded by letting those people know she worked very hard for what she has.
“With all due respect. So many of you are loud and wrong,” she began. “I worked very hard…for many years, through a lot of pain…to provide my children with this house. I put everything into it. Praying none of you ever experience this.”
