Miley Cyrus Says Her "Soul Aches" for L.A. Fire Victims After Losing Her Home in 2018

Miley Cyrus got emotional while speaking out about the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires. Sympathizing with those affected by the tragedy, the Grammy-winner reflected on how her own home burned down in the Woolsey fires in 2018.  

“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,” she wrote on her Instagram Story on Saturday alongside a black-and-white snapshot of her destroyed Malibu home that she previously shared with her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. 

“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.”

Cyrus continued, “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."

She concluded her note with links to organizations that she's "personally supporting,"—including World Central Kitchen, the Community Brigade, and the Malibu Foundation, which she helped launch in 2018. "Time, resources and dedication from inside and outside of our community will heal us, but it hurts deeply for now," Cryus added.

Back in 2018, Cyrus and Hemsworth's former beach house was burned to the ground as the former couple and their pets sought refuge at their other $2.5 million Southern California estate. Two years later, Hemsworth opened up about the devastating loss of his and Cyrus's home while speaking with Men's Health.

“My brother Luke called and said, ‘Get ready, they’re going to issue an evacuation.’ The whole time that I was packing up these animals, I had moments where I’m like, ‘It’s not going to get this far; this is a waste of time, and my house isn’t going to burn down,’” Hemsworth said. “And, of course, it did burn down, and it was a shitty thing to live through.”
