Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s LA home miraculously spared in deadly wildfire

·

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s $26 million home in Pacific Palisades narrowly escaped the devastating wildfire that has been sweeping through Los Angeles.

According to Page Six, the couple’s four-bedroom, five-bathroom residence, purchased in 2010, remains untouched, while the cliffside mansion just above it was completely destroyed.

Chet Hanks, their son, shared his distress about the LA fires on Instagram, commenting, “The neighbourhood I grew up in is burning to the ground… Pray for Palisades.”

The Palisades Fire, which erupted on Tuesday, January 7, has damaged more than 1,000 homes and businesses. Combined with the Eaton and Hurst fires, the blazes have led to widespread devastation across LA, with approximately 180,000 people evacuated and five deaths reported.

Several celebrities, including Paris Hilton and Leighton Meester, have also suffered significant losses in the fires.

Firefighters continue to battle the flames across multiple affected areas, including the Hollywood Hills, which was briefly evacuated but has since lifted its evacuation orders.

Hanks and Wilson previously owned a 1929 Spanish-style villa in Pacific Palisades, which they sold in 2014 for $5 million. Hanks also has a beach house in Malibu, though it remains unclear if it was impacted by the fire.
