Celebrity Homes That Burned in Past California Fires

Miley Cyrus is one of the most well-known stars who lost her Malibu, California, home during the 2018 Woolsey fire. The Grammy Award winner shared her house with then-husband Liam Hemsworth. Miley reflected on the loss of her home during a 2023 TikTok video series.

“The Meet Miley Cyrus record was really where I started writing my own songs as a solo artist, and so, I was working with a producer in Malibu that lived in a house in Ramirez Canyon, which I would’ve never known 15 years later I would be living in that house, which would eventually burn down,” Miley said. “That house had so much magic to it. It ended up really changing my life.”

Miley also seemingly referenced her home’s devastation in her hit single “Flowers” in the lyric, “We were right, till we weren’t / Watched a home and watched it burn.”
