Miley Cyrus among celebrities to lose homes in California wildfires
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Miley Cyrus said Sunday her house burned down due to the devastating California wildfire ravaging southern California — joining a growing list of celebrities and thousands of residents to evacuate or lose their residences due to the blaze.
Cyrus tweeted that she, her animals and “love of my life,” most likely referring to fiancé Liam Hemsworth, made it out safely before the flames engulfed her Malibu home. Two wildfires — Woolsey Fire in southern California and Camp Fire in the northern part of the state — have destroyed thousands of structures.
“Completely devestated [sic] by the fires affecting my community. I am one of the lucky ones. My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely & that’s all that matters right now. My house no longer stands but the memories shared with family & friends stand strong,” she tweeted. “I am grateful for all I have left. Sending so much love and gratitude to the firefighters and LA country [sic] Sheriff’s department!”

Camille Grammer posted on social media: “Sadly my house couldn’t be saved. The courageous firefighters were able to save my cars and personal items recovered from my home. I thanked the fire chief and his team of firemen for all of their hard work.”
Neil Young announced on his website that he’s lost his home in the wildfire. He also criticized President Trump, who pointed at California’s “gross mismanagement” for the cause of the fire.
