Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag Break Down Crying After Losing Their Home in Wildfires: 'Out of Body Insane'

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag Pratt are sharing their pain after losing their home in the Los Angeles wildfires.

The longtime reality TV couple and their sons Gunner, 7, and Ryker, 2, will have to rebuild entirely from scratch after losing all of their material possessions in the fires.

“Spencer was like ‘Grab anything you want to keep,’ ” Heidi shared through tears during a Wednesday, Jan. 15 appearance on Good Morning America. “And I was like, ‘How do you choose?’ You know? My brain stopped working because I was so overwhelmed with so many things you can’t replace. So I grabbed my kids’ teddy bears.”

Spencer also got emotional recounting the experience of watching his children’s bedrooms burn on the cameras.

“The worst was like our kid's room that was so magical,” The Hills alum recalled, getting visibly choked up. “We do story time each night, it’s like our routine, so much love is in there. Our son’s bed started just burning in the shape of a heart. The fire started in the shape of a heart. I was like, ‘This is like, out of body insane.’ ”

The couple have been documenting their post-fire experience as they start to pick themselves up, replacing less valuable items such as clothing, but some things they lost are irreplaceable.

“I feel like a ghost,” Spencer admitted. “I don’t have a single photo now from before an iPhone existed. I don’t have any of the dumb little things that are on your shelves in your parents’ they’re all gone. Not a single nothing.”

The reality TV stars' home and possessions were not insured, as they claim their insurance company dropped them from their policy.

“It’s a place that you love that you live, it’s a refuge from the world. And to have that be gone, it’s a really difficult concept to continue to daily deal with,” Heidi said through tears. "We were house poor as they call it. We have a house and everything else is a hustle, is a grind. So yeah, we’re definitely counting every dollar that we make. We’re working really hard to take one trip a year.”

One way the couple is raising money to help rebuild their lives is by encouraging fans on social media to stream Heidi’s 2010 album Superficial. The call has been answered by fans and celebrity pals alike including Paris Hilton, who also lost her Malibu home in the fires, as well as Flavor Flav and Hills costars Brody Jenner, Kristin Cavallari, Audrina Patridge and more.

The social push has skyrocketed Heidi to the No. 1 spot on iTunes.

“The fan support has been such a light in such a darkness for us,” Heidi said. “It’s life-changing.”
