Miley Cyrus Loses Home to Fire, Remains "Grateful for All I Have Left"

Miley Cyrus has penned an emotional post about the loss of something very close and personal:


Her home.


The singer alerted Instagram and Twitter followers last night that her house burned down in the massive wild fire that continues to consume significant areas of California.




“Completely devestated [sic] by the fires affecting my community,” the singer Tweeted on Sunday, explaining in more detail:


“I am one of the lucky ones. My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely & that’s all that matters right now. My house no longer stands but the memories shared with family & friends stand strong.”


It’s very safe to assume that Cyrus is referencing Liam Hemsworth when she writes the “LOVE OF MY LIFE.”


“I am grateful for all I have left. Sending so much love and gratitude to the firefighters and LA country Sheriff’s department!” she continued.


From there, as you can see below, Miley encouraged followers to donate to organizations that are helping folks stay safe during this very dangerous time:






“I love you more than ever , Miley,” the star concluded her post.


OVer 250,000 residents of California have been evacuated as a result of this ongoing disaster.


At last count, 31 people had died.


Other celebrities who have lost their homes, been forced to flee or just commented on the tragedy in general include Alyssa Milano, Gerard Butler, Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga.


Tweeted the A Star is Born actress:


I am thinking so deeply for everyone who is suffering today from these abominable fires & grieving the loss of their homes or loved ones. I’m sitting here with many of you wondering if my home will burst into flames.


All we can do is pray together & for each other. God Bless You.






Kardashian, meanwhile, used the stage of Sunday’s People Choice Awards to speak on the devastation that has affected her, her siblings and so many others.


“It’s been a really rough week in our home in Calabasas, Hidden Hills, and for our neighbors in Thousand Oaks and Malibu,” Kim said, elaborating in emotional detail as follows:


“Our hearts are broken from the horrific shootings and for those who have lost their lives and homes, as well as the hundreds of thousands of us that have been evacuated from the devastating fires that are currently burning.”


Continued Kim:


“As horrible as this has been, it’s been amazing to see the resilient spirit of everyone involved, and the heroism of those risking their lives on the front lines.


“Action is necessary, so anything we can do to help, as simple as donating to the many organization that are collecting supplies, no form of help is too small.


“Our country is stronger when we come together and we cannot face devastation alone.


“We must continue to reach out and help each other during these trying times.”



Amen, right?


Over 200 people have been reporting missing as a result of these wild fires.


Tragically, as winds continue to gust and the blazes continue to spread, there doesn’t appear to really be an end in sight.


We wish nothing but the best to all those affected.

Stan Lee Dies; Marvel Comics Creator Was 95

Stan Lee, arguably the best known comic book creator of all-time, passed away Monday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.


He was 95 years old.




Lee’s daughter confirmed this very sad piece of news to TMZ.


The website writes that Lee was rushed from his home in Hollywood Hills to the aforementioned facility, although it’s unclear at this time what medical condition prompted the emergency.


The legendary writer, however, had suffered numerous illnesses over the last year or so, including a semi-recent bout of pneumonia and a number of vision issues.


He had receded from the public eye for most of 2018 as a result.


Lee started out in the comic business back in 1939.


Along with Jack Kirby, he co-founded Marvel in 1961 via the introduction of The Fantastic Four.


He went on to create Spider-Man, Black Panther, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Iron Man and The Avengers, among many other notable, memorable and beloved characters.



Lee was always revered in the comic book universe, but he became a true pop culture icon about a decade ago after the success of the first Iron Man movie.


The Marvel Cinematic Universe has basically taken over the movie world in that time and Lee has made a cameo in every Marvel film to date.


In 2009, the Walt Disney Co. bought Marvel Entertainment for $ 4 billion.


Three years later, The Avengers grossed $ 1.52 billion worldwide take and two years after that, Lee acknowledged his important role not just in the entertainment industry — but in the world as a whole.


“I used to think what I did was not very important,” he told the Chicago Tribune in April of 2014, adding at the time:


“People are building bridges and engaging in medical research, and here I was doing stories about fictional people who do extraordinary, crazy things and wear costumes.


“But I suppose I have come to realize that entertainment is not easily dismissed.”



A native of Manhattan, Lee wrote, art-directed and edited most of Marvel’s series and newspaper strips.


He also wrote a monthly comics’ column, “Stan’s Soapbox,” signing off with his signature phrase, “Excelsior!”


Lee played a vital role as Marvel transitioned into TV during the 1980s, serving as narrator on animated series like Incredible Hulk and X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men, and executive producing the 1990s animated series Spider-Man.


In 2002, Lee published an autobiography, Excelsior! The Amazing Life of Stan Lee.


Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse will be the next installment of the Marvel film franchise and will be released next month; it’s very safe to assume there will be a dedication to Lee in the credits.

The writer’s survivors include a daughter, J.C., and younger brother, Larry Lieber, who works as a writer and artist for Marvel. Another daughter, Jan, died in infancy.


Lee’s wife, Joan, was a hat model whom he married in 1947. She passed away last year.


Said J.C. to TMZ shortly after confirming her dad’s death:


“My father loved all of his fans. He was the greatest, most decent man.”


May he rest in peace.
