Caitlyn Jenner and Lady Gaga's Malibu mansions escape unscathed from raging wildfires

Publish date: 2024-07-19

Lady Gaga and Caitlyn Jenner were among the celebrities who could breathe a sign of relief as it was revealed their multi-million dollar Malibu mansions escaped unscathed from the wildfire.

Yesterday there were fears that Jenner's home had been burned and photos showed smoke creeping in on Gaga's pad.

But today pictures revealed that both abodes appeared to be in tact and the Poker Face singer's chickens were seen alive and well in the grounds of her home. At Jenner's abode the land outside the property could be seen covered in ash - showing just how close the blaze got to her home.

'I am thinking so deeply for everyone who is suffering today from these abominable fires & grieving the loss of their homes or loved ones,' Lady Gaga tweeted. 'I'm sitting here with many of you wondering if my home will burst into flames. All we can do is pray together & for each other. God Bless You.'

In a video Friday updating her social media followers, Jenner appeared visibly upset but let everyone know she and girlfriend Sophia Hutchins had made it out of the area safely.

'We're safe, at a safe house,' Jenner said, who at the time of the video said she didn't know whether her home had been spared from the blaze.

'The dogs are out in the pool swimming and having a good time.

'Having a good day, ha! I don't think we're having that good of a day, but anyway,' Jenner said, with teary, or possibly glassy, eyes.

At that comment, Hutchins playfully swatted Jenner on the shoulder, and said, 'We're having a vodka, it's been a Hell of a morning, but we're safe, that's all that matters.'

At around 7am Pacific on Friday, officials issued a mandatory evacuation order for the entire city of Malibu, home to 13,000 people, as the fire was declared an 'imminent threat'.

Jenner has owned her home in Malibu since 2015 and it has been featured multiple times on her reality series.

Hutchins said in an earlier Instagram story: 'I just want to let everyone know we made it out, both of us made it out.

'The dogs made it out, a few of our belongings made it out and we are safe, and that's all that matters. We're safe.'

Jenner can be heard in the background talking on the phone about how she 'was going to stay at the house,' but obviously thought better of it.

'I'm going up to a higher place to take a look out at the fire. We're probably about eight miles away from it,' he said at the time.

'We haven't been told to evacuate j ust yet, but Willow is nervous, so made me go outside and look and make a Daddy assessment.'

'That is very scary,' he said. 'We are prepared to evacuate as soon as we get the word.'

Smith ended the video with the pointed advice: 'If you are in the evacuation zone, go now.'
