Jhené Aiko revealed the devastating impact of the ongoing fires in Los Angeles over the weekend.
The 36-year-old singer, who revealed last week that her home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles had caught fire, returned to the scene and shared videos of the destruction on her Instagram Stories.
Aiko, who rejected cruel comments from unfriendly fans on social media, surveyed the property, where little remained except a few brick walls, a burned-out car and an air conditioning unit.
“My cozy dream cabin,” she captioned the video, adding a teary-eyed emoji. “That brick held firm, though,” he added.
So far, the fires have killed at least 16 people and more than 100,000 have been forced to evacuate.
Parked in front of the property was what looked like a small VW-style van, but it had been burned to ashes, leaving only the charred metal shell.

It’s unclear whether the remains inside had been swept away or if the ashes of an entire house had simply blown away on the breeze, but there was little sign that the rubble had ever been a family home.
As we passed by the van, we could see a corner of elegant and decorative brick still standing.
Towards the right side was a portion of concrete wall that had also withstood the fire, although now there was nothing left to support it.
Crunchy metal panels and rods seemed to be scattered across the ashes of the foundation.
The house was located in front of a small hill, on which there were still some trees, since the water content inside can protect them from a total fire.
A small brick wall marked a perimeter against the hill, although it was unclear if it had been part of the ground floor of the house, rather it had been a wall surrounding the house.
As Jhené moved her camera further to the right, she came across a metal cage that was partially standing and attached to a brick wall, housing charred air conditioning units.
He didn’t bother to speak in the video and simply let the horrific images speak for themselves.
“My cozy dream cabin,” she captioned the video, adding a teary-eyed emoji as she walked past a burned-out pickup truck in the driveway.
“That brick stood firm, though,” he added. There were still standing brick walls around the perimeter, but the interior of the house was completely destroyed.
On Thursday, the singer and rapper had posted a video on her Instagram stories of the fire that engulfed her home while she escaped just in time.
She said the house had burned to the ground with “all our stuff inside.”
On Thursday, the singer and rapper posted a video to her Instagram Stories of the fire that engulfed her home as she escaped just in time.
“My perfect little Pali dream,” he wrote over a clip of a raging inferno bursting through his front window. ‘I’m sorry we couldn’t save you. Thank you for the memories and thank God there was no one inside.’
He added that he was “praying” for others in his neighborhood and “around the world.”
Jhené wrote in an Instagram post that her house had “burned to the ground with all our stuff inside.”
‘Grateful we still have each other. Starting from scratch. My heart is very heavy,’ he added.
Aiko is the mother of two children: sixteen-year-old Namiko, whom she shares with singer O’Ryan, and two-year-old Noah, whom she shares with her partner, rapper Big Sean.
So far, Big Sean doesn’t appear to have posted anything publicly about the devastating Los Angeles fires or Aiko’s house.
Late last week, Jhené called out mean commenters after they claimed she could afford to replace her house while other people in Los Angeles were worse off.

Late last week, Jhené responded to mean commenters after they claimed she could afford to replace her house while other people in Los Angeles were worse off.
He tried to remind people that he was neither a superstar nor a mega-rich celebrity.
“The fact that some of you think I have money from Paris Hilton is crazy,” he said, referring to the heiress and reality star who lost her Malibu beach house to hell.
Aiko continued, “I don’t understand it like that, but I have a big, loving family that’s worth more than anything else.”
The fires in Los Angeles began last week in the upscale Pacific Palisades neighborhood, before spreading north and west to Malibu and Calabasas.
A second fire later started further east in Altadena, which borders populous Pasadena.
Smaller fires have started in other parts of the city, including in the Hollywood Hills, although firefighters have had better luck extinguishing those fires quickly.
