Tatum O’Neal, daughter of the late actor Ryan O’Neal, has shared an emotional update about the destruction of her father’s Malibu estate in the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires. She expressed her devastation on Instagram, stating, “It’s the saddest ever so sad I could cry. My father’s house is gone, Malibu gone… Gone gone gone gone. It’s so scary. I am so freaking sad.” The tragic loss comes just two years after her father’s passing in December 2023 at the age of 82.
The wildfires have caused widespread destruction, displacing over 80,000 people and claiming the homes of numerous celebrities, including Ricki Lake, Mel Gibson, Paris Hilton, and Heidi Montag. High-profile figures such as John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, and Ashley Tisdale have also been forced to evacuate. The fires have claimed lives, particularly in the Eaton and Palisades areas, with the death toll now reported at 24 by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. The catastrophe continues to leave a profound impact on both the local community and Hollywood.
