Willow Smith is the latest celebrity to lose her home in the Los Angeles area wildfires that began on January 7.
The daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith was forced to evacuate her 3,000-sq. ft., 4-bedroom, 5-bath home as the wildfires continued to rage. But upon returning to her home this week, she discovered her house was destroyed. Aerial photos show Willow’s $4 million home reduced to ashes and rubble.
Willow, 24, has yet to comment on her tragic loss. The luxury house was nestled in the hills of Malibu and offered sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean.
Willow bought the ultra modern home during the pandemic in 2020.
Willow rose to fame at age 11 with her hit single “Whip My Hair.” But she abandoned a recording career to enjoy her childhood. Willow returned to the recording arts years later.
Willow’s father, Will Smith, also lost his $42 million sprawling 25,000-square-foot mansion in Calabasas to the wildfires.
The estate was built in 2010 and boasted basketball, volleyball, and tennis courts, a lake, and an outdoor Olympic sized pool.
Will and Willow have not commented publicly about their loss.

Other celebrities who lost their homes in the wildfires include Beyonce’s mom Tina Knowles, Paris Hilton, Jhena Aiko, Kawhi Leonard, Keyshia Cole, Lakers coach JJ Redick, Hunter Biden, Ricki Lake, Mel Gibson, Melissa Rivers (Joan’s daughter), and more.
Paris Hilton revealed she watched her Malibu waterfront home burn to the ground on live television.
“Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience,” Paris wrote in a post on social media.
Paris was able to save her 5 expensive purebred puppies and family photos before she fled.
