Hey loves,
It’s your girl here, writing this with a heavy heart as the latest California wildfires devastate lives, landscapes, and dreams. Seeing headlines like “Our home burns live” feels like a punch to the gut. I couldn’t stop myself from writing about it — these wildfires are not just destroying homes, they’re rewriting lives, memories, and even the stories of the stars we love to follow.
The fires have hit some of the most iconic spots — Pacific Palisades, Hollywood Hills, and Malibu. Names like Anthony Hopkins, Adam Brody, and Paris Hilton are making news not for their work, but for the heart-wrenching loss of their homes. Just imagine sitting with your family, watching the place where you’ve lived, loved, and dreamed being swallowed by flames on live TV. That’s what Paris Hilton shared with the world, and my heart broke for her and for everyone experiencing this nightmare.

It’s hard not to feel small and helpless when you see fire sweeping through entire neighborhoods. But what struck me most is how raw and real these stories are. These are the same stars who light up our screens and stages, yet in this moment, they are stripped down to their most vulnerable. They remind us that no matter who you are, nature doesn’t discriminate.
One story that really hit home for me was Billy Crystal’s. He and his wife lost a house they’ve lived in since 1979 — a place filled with decades of love, memories, and milestones. He called it “a home filled with love,” and that got me thinking: What truly makes a house a home? It’s not the marble countertops or infinity pools. It’s the love, the laughter, the moments. That’s something no fire can destroy, but the pain of losing it still cuts deep.
Then there’s Mandy Moore, who not only lost her home but also her kids’ school and the restaurants she loved. It’s so overwhelming to imagine losing not just your house, but also the entire community you’ve built your life around. It’s a reminder of how interconnected our lives are, and how climate change is no longer a distant “future problem.” It’s here. It’s now.
And yes, I want to take a moment to reflect on that. Climate change. I know, it’s a heavy topic, but as I type this from the comfort of my apartment, I can’t ignore the privilege I have. I can’t ignore the fact that extreme weather events — wildfires, hurricanes, floods — are happening more often and with more intensity. How long before it’s not just the stars in Hollywood but everyday people like you and me watching their homes go up in smoke?
I’ve always felt like social media gives us a platform not just to share cute selfies and dance trends but to raise awareness about the things that really matter. And this matters. If nothing else, let’s use our platforms to amplify the voices of those affected. Share their stories. Donate to organizations like the California Fire Foundation or Red Cross.

As I wrap this up, I just want to say how much these fires have put things into perspective for me. Yes, I’m a content creator. Yes, I love the glam and the hustle. But none of that means anything without a safe space to come home to — a place where love thrives. If you’ve got that, hold onto it tightly. And if you can, help others rebuild theirs.
Let’s not just watch from the sidelines while the world burns. Let’s do what we can, together.
Sending love and light,
Rundalya💕
