Kim Kardashian has been at the "forefront" of the 2025 Los Angeles Fires (LA Fires) since their start on January 7th. She has already donated to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, Baby2Baby, and supplied meals to the firefighters through Carousel Restaurant—the contributions helping the citizens of LA.
However, the fires also impacted Kim and her family, as they had to evacuate their homes due to the flames threatening their neighborhoods. The evacuations had since expired, but the blazes have continued to spread in other LA areas. Many front-line workers are trying to keep them under control, while nonprofits and volunteers are working around the clock to provide resources to the victims.
Despite the tragedy, hope and love has been propelled, unifying a community.
Kim Kardashian gives a real and personal look at the LA Fires
On January 15th, Kim naturally took to Instagram and uploaded a Carousel of images from the disaster. Although they're stills, the photos tell a story and bring us into the heart of the surroundings. It's unfathomable that everything could be taken away in seconds, altering our lives for an unexpected future.
The first one appears to be billowing clouds over the mountains, but they're actually smoke tufts filled with ash. In the second, Kim shares the aftermath of one of Malibu's coastlines and the skeletal remains of homes that once enjoyed the Pacific landscape. The mom of four included the firefighters observing the flames beyond and a plane from Quebec releasing Phos-Chek, a red flame retardant, to douse the fires before they could continue to damage property.
The most haunting photo of all is the wild horses against a burning background, which breaks our hearts as few wild horse herds are left. It's with firm hope that the frightened animals are rescued.
Kim expressed her gratuity for the brave people in their efforts to save Los Angeles.
"I ♥️ LA," she says. My heart breaks for the city," she writes. "Continuing to pray for all of those affected and so grateful for those fighting hard to protect and save this city."
Like Kim, several other celebrities are using their platforms to raise awareness, donate, and help in any way they can. Paris Hilton spent a day at the Pasadena Animal Shelter and is now fostering a dachshund named Zuzu. Beyoncé donated $250 million directly to families through her BeyGOOD Foundation; others have opened their homes for temporary housing.
As always, our hearts are with the people and animals of Los Angeles.
