Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, revealed that she lost her Malibu bungalow to the wildfires that devastated Los Angeles.
Starting Tuesday, the area was hit by its worst wind storms in more than a decade, fueling fires in Los Angeles and Ventura counties that destroyed thousands of structures and claimed at least five lives in the past three days.
About 130,000 people are under evacuation orders or warnings, as authorities prepare to send in K-9 units trained to detect human remains.
A fire in the Pacific Palisades area has consumed several celebrity homes, including residences owned by Paris Hilton, Jeff Bridges, Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman, James Woods and Miles Teller.
Now a heartbroken Tina has revealed that her beachfront property in Malibu was destroyed by the same fire, just days after celebrating her 71st birthday there.
‘It was my favorite place, my sanctuary, my sacred Happy Place. Now it’s gone!!’ he wrote on Instagram, before paying tribute to the five people who died.
