Tyra Banks Loses Home in Deadly LA Wildfires

Tyra Banks has revealed that she lost her home in the recent devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, which have resulted in at least 28 fatalities and the destruction of over 17,000 buildings since they began on January 7. During her appearance on the Australian morning show Sunrise, Banks explained she learned about the loss while celebrating with friends in Australia, choosing to keep the information private initially to focus on others affected by the disaster. She expressed her concern for friends and family during the crisis, stating, 'I kept checking my phone, not for my house, but for friends and family, making sure they were evacuating.' While she lost some sentimental items, she noted that most of her cherished mementos were in her homes in New York and Australia. The wildfires have displaced thousands, with a significant number of celebrities also affected, including Mandy Moore and Paris Hilton. The fires are expected to result in damages that could reach $20 billion.
