Gigi Hadid’s Childhood Home Burns Down Amid L.A. Wildfires


Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

As the Los Angeles wildfires continue to rage on with mandatory evacuations taking place, the home where Gigi Hadid and her siblings were raised by their mother, Yolanda Hadid, was burned to the ground.

The mansion, which was located in Malibu and was once owned by Yolanda, was also known as the Carbon Canyon Estate. Yolanda, 60, and her then boyfriend, producer David Foster, purchased the house in 2007 for $4.5 million and renovated it for two years to suit their needs according to Daily Mail. They pair ended up marrying in 2011.

The six-bedroom and 11-bathroom mansion was heavily featured in a number of episodes of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which Yolanda starred in through the years. After the couple announced that they were getting a divorce in 2015, Yolanda sold the childhood home of her children Gigi, 29, Bella, 28, and Anwar, 25, in 2015 after eight years of living there.

The house was famously rented by Kylie Jenner in 2019 for a hefty $450,000 a month after it was sold. The latest owner of the mansion had listed the home in July 2024 with a whopping $35 million price tag before it burned down in the recent wildfires that left other houses in the area devastated. It is unclear whether or not anyone was living in the house at this time.

The Hadid’s aren’t the only celebrities to lose a piece of their family’s history. Anna Faris, Spencer Pratt, Paris Hilton, and Tina Knowles are among just some of the many stars who were affected by the raging wildfires in the Los Angeles area.

Multiple wildfires ignited on Tuesday, January 7, across Southern California, including the Palisades fire in Pacific Palisades, the Hurst fire in San Fernando Valley, and the Eaton fire near Altadena. These fires have quickly spread, raising alarm throughout the region as they continue to intensify.
