Adam Brody and Leighton Meester’s mansion has been reduced to ashes as fierce fires ravage neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Other stars, including Ben Affleck, saw their homes go up in smoke.

The couple’s five-bedroom, six-bathroom property was hit by the wildfire in the upscale Pacific Palisades neighborhood and was left a smoldering wreck. As the photos show, broken windows, a non-existent roof and black smoke billow from what remains of the home.
Adam Brody, 45, and Leighton Meester, 38, were last seen at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, just two days before the out-of-control fires broke out. The couple purchased the home in 2019 for $6.5 million and live there with their two young children.
They’re not the only Hollywood couple to have their home destroyed. One of Paris Hilton’s properties was burned to the ground. Ben Affleck’s $20 million Pacific Palisades bachelor pad was engulfed in flames, as was Anna Faris’ home. Reality TV stars Spencer Pratt and his wife Heidi Montag also lost their homes, while Oscar-nominated actor James Woods told how his residence was burned to the ground.
“One day you’re swimming in the pool and the next day it’s all gone. There was so much chaos, it was like an inferno. All the houses were on fire around us,” James Woods, 77, told CNN in tears.
The Palisades Fire broke out Tuesday morning after strong winds fanned the flames in the very dry region. More than 30,000 people were evacuated. This Thursday, downtown Hollywood is evacuated. At least five people have died and shelters are housing people driven from their homes by the fire.
