Real estate mogul and Shark Tank investor Barbara Corcoran has revealed that she lost her Pacific Palisades mobile home in the Los Angeles wildfires.
Since earlier this week, wildfires have ravaged the Los Angeles area, burning homes and even entire streets.
On Tuesday, fires swept through the upscale enclave of Pacific Palisades and quickly spread to surrounding suburbs as a wind storm blew embers and debris in all directions.
Currently, there are multiple fires that have not yet been contained and many fear even more damage this weekend as winds continue to increase.
Many celebrity homes have been destroyed, including Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Paris Hilton, Melissa Rivers and Ricki Lake.
Now, Corcoran, who resides primarily in Manhattan, has been added to that list.
He announced the loss of his mobile home in an emotional Instagram post, sharing a terrifying video of the area completely in flames.
The video appeared to have been taken from someone’s car, as debris flew around them.

‘The devastating fires in Los Angeles have claimed many lives this week. “The beloved Tahitian Terrace mobile home park in Pacific Palisades, my little piece of heaven, was completely destroyed as the devastating Palisades Fire moved rapidly through the park on Tuesday,” he wrote.
“For the past five years, I have been privileged to have a home in this loving and close-knit community,” her message continued.
‘It is a place where kindness thrives, friendships are valued and neighbors become family. “My heart breaks over and over again seeing these incredible people who built their lives here for decades, many of them seniors who put their hearts and savings into their trailers, and were left with absolutely nothing,” Corcoran wrote.
In the message, he also shared that he has created a GoFundMe page to help the community recover from the devastating damage.
“Funds raised will be distributed by our dedicated group of tenants to help those most in need meet immediate needs such as food, clothing and shelter as they take the first steps to rebuild their lives,” Corcoran wrote.
“My heart goes out to all those displaced and my deepest gratitude to the brave first responders who are working tirelessly to keep people safe,” he concluded his post.
The Tahitian Terrace mobile home park was located directly across from Will Rogers State Beach and had listings valued at almost a million dollars.
