Anna Faris‘ Pacific Palisades home has been destroyed by the Palisades Fire, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
“Anna and her family are safe and grateful,” the actress’ rep shared on Wednesday.
The Scary Movie and Just Friends star bought her home in 2019 following her split from actor Chris Pratt; the pair share son Jack, 12. She is married to cinematographer Michael Barrett, whom she met while making the 2018 Overboard remake.
Faris, who hosts the Anna Faris Is Unqualified podcast, is among the 130,000 Los Angeles residents who are being impacted by the six fires that continue to blaze through L.A. County heading into Wednesday night, also including the Eaton, Hurst, Woodley and Lidia fires. The apocalyptic fire, fueled by Santa Ana winds, started Tuesday in Pacific Palisades, before spreading to parts of Malibu and Santa Monica overnight.
The sixth blaze, the Sunset Fire, broke out Wednesday night in Los Angeles, endangering iconic landmark the Hollywood Bowl. Flames broke out in Runyon Canyon in the Hollywood Hills around 5:30 p.m. The spreading fire is close to Hollywood Boulevard and the Hollywood Walk of Fame, as well as other iconic Los Angeles locations.
At least five people have died in the fires, of which all but one are zero percent contained.
Actors Mandy Moore, Billy Crystal, Cary Elwes and James Woods, songwriter Diane Warren and reality stars Spencer and Heidi Montag and Paris Hilton have all confirmed their respective homes have been destroyed by the wildfires.
“Words cannot describe the enormity of the devastation we are witnessing and experiencing,” Billy and Janice Crystal said after their Pacific Palisades home of nearly five decades was burned down. “Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can’t be taken away. We are heartbroken of course but with the love of our children and friends we will get through this.”
“I am devastated and gutted for those of us who’ve lost so much. I’m absolutely numb,” said Moore, whose home was destroyed by the Eaton Fire.
“It tests your soul, losing everything at once, I must say,” said Woods on X.
Hilton said she is “heartbroken beyond words” after learning her Malibu home was destroyed.
Elwes, after sharing his evacuation video from Malibu on social media, confirmed on Instagram that he lost his home in the Palisades Fire, but that he and his family were safe. “We are grateful to have survived this truly devastating fire,” wrote the Princess Bride star while also thanking first responders.
The Pacific Palisades homes of Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Eugene Levy and John Goodman have also burned down, TMZ reported.
Schitt’s Creek star Levy, who is the current honorary mayor of the Pacific Palisades, had evacuated the area early Tuesday, telling The Los Angeles Times, “The smoke looked pretty black and intense over Temescal Canyon … the smoke was very dark.”
The Palisades Fire also engulfed Palisades Charter High School, a school that has long been a popular location for Hollywood productions, as well as iconic Malibu eateries including Malibu’s Reel Inn, Moonshadows and Cholada Thai.
