Fashion designer Victoria wrote on Instagram on Thursday morning: “Seeing the devastation and loss caused by these bushfires is truly heartbreaking.”
“Los Angeles holds such a special place in our family’s hearts, and our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected, especially those who have lost their homes or loved ones.”

Victoria Beckham has said she is “heartbroken” as wildfires continue to devastate Los Angeles
The Spice Girl and her family have strong connections to the city, having once lived there when her husband David played for LA Galaxy.
Victoria’s eldest son Brooklyn now lives in Los Angeles with his wife, American actress Nicola Peltz, and shared his own shocking photo of the fires hours before Victoria’s words.
Hours earlier, Brooklyn shared a photo from a window of the Peltz family’s condo in Los Angeles, where fires are seen approaching in the distance.
He added a broken heart emoji. It is not known if Brooklyn and Nicola have been evacuated.
The couple divides their time between New York, Nicola’s parents’ estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and the family’s luxury apartment in an exclusive Los Angeles condo complex where Rihanna purchased a $21 million penthouse.
Before Brooklyn, Nicola had her own maiden apartment in Los Angeles, but now they have access to another family property, which is in the name of her mother Claudia.
She owns an elegant three-bedroom, five-bathroom apartment on the 11th floor of The Century in Century City, which she purchased for $3.8 million in 2012.
The Century is one of Los Angeles’ most exclusive celebrity condos with past and present residents including Denzel Washington, Paula Abdul, and Candy Spelling.
Brooklyn and Nicola unloaded their own $10.5 million mansion in Beverly Hills in 2022.
The two purchased the property in June 2021, only to sell it 14 months later for $9.25 million, taking a $1.25 million hit.

Nicola later admitted that the purchase, five months after they started dating, was “silly.”
“We sold it because we thought, ‘Oh, we’re going to go to Florida for a while.'” And then we were like, ‘No, just kidding, we have to be in Los Angeles to work,'” he told Cosmopolitan.
‘It was very foolish of us. And now we’re saving money to get the house of our dreams.’
Hollywood Boulevard has been evacuated and 100,000 people have been ordered to flee as six wildfires rage while the apocalyptic skies over Los Angeles continue to fill with smoke.
