As dangerous wildfires continue to rapidly spread across Los Angeles County, a number of famous residents are among the thousands of people whose homes were affected by the tragedy. Songwriter Diane Warren took to Instagram on Wednesday (Jan. 8) to reveal that her beach home was one of the properties that was burned down.
Warren took to Instagram to share a photo of the rock on the beach behind her home that reminds her of her late friend, Leah. “This is the last pic I took of Leah’s rock from my beach house. I’ve had this house for almost 30 years. It looks like it was lost in the fire last nite,” she wrote. “There’s a rainbow shining on it which I’m taking as a sign of hope for all creatures who have been affected by this tragedy. The animals and the rescue ranch are OK tho which is the most important thing. Stay safe everyone.”
