Tyra Banks was spotted in Sydney, Australia this week after revealing that she lost her Palisades home in one of the Los Angeles wildfires.

The 51-year-old model, who broke down in tears on an Australian morning show on Monday, wore a black button-down shirt with dramatically flared short sleeves and matching pants.

Banks completed her outfit with a pair of black leather ballet flats and draped a large black purse over her forearm.

Her face was completely made up while she accentuated her green eyes with black eyeliner.

She wore a pair of gold star earrings and a wavy bob wig with bangs that framed her face.

Speaking with hosts Natalie Barr and Matt Shirvington during her talk show appearance, Tyra revealed that her Pacific Palisades home did not survive the fire.

He said he previously kept the devastating loss private because he “didn’t want to draw too much attention to myself.”

‘I lost my house. I haven’t really talked about it, but yeah, yeah,” a teary-eyed Tyra said when asked about the fires that ravaged Southern California for nearly two weeks.

“I just didn’t want to draw a lot of attention to myself. I feel like there are a lot of people who need that attention, so I haven’t talked about it. But I can’t sit here and not tell the truth,” she explained.

Tyra is currently living in Sydney as she prepares to open her Smize & Dream ice cream parlor in Darling Harbor in March.

He has been dividing his time between Australia and his home in New York, and revealed that he is lucky to have moved most of his belongings out of Los Angeles before the accident.

On January 9, the former America’s Next Top Model host appeared online to acknowledge the firestorms with a heartfelt message to her 7.2 million followers.

She wrote: ‘The Palisades is such a special place, a real town. Small, quaint and full of the warmest, friendliest people. So to see what is happening now is truly devastating.

‘To all those affected, my heart goes out to you. My family lived there for a decade and we have seen firsthand the strength of this community. We know you’ll get through this.’

Two days later, as fires continued to burn in areas of the city, he sent a special message to those affected in the Pasadena and Altadena neighborhoods.

She wrote: “The west side of Los Angeles, with its attention and fame, often steals the spotlight.” But my heart also goes out to Altadena and Pasadena, communities rich in history and deeply tied to my family.

‘My mom Carolyn speaks fondly of her childhood in Pasadena and Altadena, painting vivid pictures of life there. It speaks of the big, magnificent trees that line the streets, the warmth of the neighborhoods and the joy of simpler times.’

Banks said elsewhere in the note: “Right now, I’m thinking about all the people in Altadena, Pasadena and beyond who are hurting and facing deep loss.”

More than 100,000 Los Angeles residents were forced to flee their homes and 27 have been confirmed dead as a result of the infernos, which began on the morning of January 7.
