It’s been a heartbreaking few days. This is what’s left of my house. Love. Many people in Malibu and surrounding areas in California have lost their homes also and my heart goes out to everyone who was affected by these fires. I spent the day in Malibu yesterday and it was amazing to see the community pulling together to help each other out in any way they can. Malibu is a strong community and this event is only going to make it stronger. Thankful for the all the great local guys that helped keep smaller fires out around my property. I love u guys. I love you Malibu. Thank you to all the hero firefighters around California. It’s going to be a journey to rebuild. Stay strong all. To help/donate visit @malibufoundation and @happyhippiefdn

According to Los Angeles County’s official Twitter page, the Woolsey Fire had burned more than 96,000 acres and was 35 percent contained as of Tuesday afternoon.

It isn’t the only blaze ravaging through the Golden State. Per the New York Times, Northern California’s Camp Fire is now the most destructive in the state’s history, burning 125,000 acres and leaving 42 people dead.
