Miley Cyrus: "My soul aches" for LA fire victims
Miley Cyrus sympathises with the victims of the Los Angeles wildfires after losing her Malibu home in the Woolsey fire in 2018.
Miley Cyrus says the devastation and loss caused by the Los Angeles wildfires is "heartbreaking". The 'Flowers' hitmaker knows firsthand the devastation it brings.
Her $2.5 million Malibu mansion burned down in 2018 while she was shooting scenes for 'Black Mirror' in South Africa. She lived in the house with her then-fiancé, Liam Hemsworth, and had reportedly planned to host their wedding there.
Miley wrote a song called 'Malibu' in honour of their relationship. "But here I am, next to you/ The sky's more blue in Malibu/ Next to you in Malibu/ Next to you," she sings.
She created many memories in her Malibu home. The Grammy award winner shared a black and white picture showing the damage caused to her home.
"This image hits me hard in the heart today. This is a photo taken of my front porch in 2018 after losing our house in the Woolsey fires. It’s a feeling you don’t ever forget. Walking up to the door you would pass through daily, looking forward to being greeted by the ones you love like you always do but instead being met by a pile of ash and rubble," she wrote on X.
The 32-year-old says she is supporting several organisations fighting the wildfires in LA, including the Malibu Foundation, which she helped launch in 2018.
The foundation supports LA communities in rebuilding their homes and lives after natural disasters.
"My soul aches for those who are experiencing this devastation firsthand, and I cry for my city. It’s beyond heartbreaking. Los Angeles represents 'living the dream' but the reality today is wreckage and destruction," Miley wrote.
She ended her post: "Time, resources and dedication from inside and outside of our community will heal us, but it hurts deeply for now..."
