Johnny Hallyday’s widow lost her Los Angeles home in the fires that have ravaged the city since the beginning of the month. On Instagram, she posts a message full of resilience.
Laeticia Hallyday, who lost her house in Pacific Palisades at the beginning of January in the fires that ravaged Los Angeles, confided this Thursday, January 23 on her Instagram account her sadness after this personal disaster.
“Today we lost everything… and yet, the essential is still there. We are safe, standing, and despite the pain, nothing will make us give up,” she wrote in the caption of a video of his house taken a few days before Christmas.
Recalling that this residence, where she was rebuilt after the death of Johnny Hallyday, was “much more than a place”, but “a setting of serenity, a sanctuary of precious memories”, she specifies that she “lived the days” there the brightest of (his) life”.
Despite the distress caused by this event, Laeticia Hallyday wants to be resilient: “It is almost inconceivable that all of this disappeared in an instant… but the memories remain, forever engraved in my heart.”
In her message, she salutes the residents of Pacific Palisades, who were also hard hit by the tragedy. “Today, my thoughts go to our community (…) To my neighbors and friends who lost everything, our street which no longer exists.”
“Weather the storm with faith”
Almost three weeks after the destruction of her house, Laeticia Hallyday thanks those who supported her. “Every word, every gesture of tenderness is a breath of hope that warms the soul in this ordeal.”
“Thank you for thinking of us, thank you for your kindness which envelopes us in this moment of vulnerability,” she added. “I know we will find the strength to get back up.”

The widow of Taulier wants to be confident in the future: “Even if the shock is great and the sadness deep, we have learned to welcome the trials with humility and to weather the storm with faith.”
Specifying that she is staying with friends of hers, she concludes: “I remain hopeful that these fires will soon be brought under control and that, despite the ashes, life will be reborn for each of us.”
“There’s nothing left”
On January 11, Laeticia Hallyday shared images of her house on Instagram destroyed. “There’s nothing left… only ashes where our laughter, our memories, our history lived. I feel like I’ve lost a part of my soul.”
Many personalities like Billy Cristal or Paris Hilton also saw their homes burn in these fires which killed nearly thirty people and forced thousands to flee.
Patrick Bruel is one of the French personalities affected by the fires. “Even if we obviously always tell ourselves that we are not the most to be pitied, that does not take away the violence of the thing,” he lamented on Instagram.
These destructive fires are not yet completely under control by firefighters. Since January 7, the flames have destroyed nearly 16,000 hectares, and devastated certain neighborhoods and suburbs of the American megalopolis.
