Reality stars reveal living situation after home burned down
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt returned to the site of their torched home, which had been razed by the 2025 California wildfires, after taking their two sons camping on the Pacific Palisades. The couple, who had previously spent emotional time discussing their mayoral campaign, now share personal memories of their family’s life post-disaster.
Pratt, 42, revealed that he was using an Airstream as a temporary headquarters for his campaign, while Montag, 39, emphasized her role as a strong, resilient mother. The video showed them spending the night in an Airstream, where Gunner and Ryker explored the remnants of their once-happy dwelling, expressing hope for a new beginning.
Montag noted that she and her son, Gunner, grew emotionally when they first saw their childhood home, pointing out that even though the house was destroyed, their children were happy to be back home. She also mentioned that Gunner, despite being 8 years old, expressed pride in the shovel he used to create s’mores, highlighting the emotional impact of rebuilding.
In a voiceover, Pratt praised his wife for her courage during the fires, saying: "Heidi and I have been through hell together. No mum should ever have to go through what she’s gone through." He also pointed out the broader trend of celebrities facing similar challenges, as seen in the recent wildfires that devastated Los Angeles.
The couple’s situation highlights the financial struggles of families dealing with property loss, as they admitted they couldn’t afford to rebuild their homes. Montag explained that they struggled to pay mortgage payments, noting that their previous down payment was too low. She also reflected on how housing prices in the area have changed dramatically, with many neighbors finding themselves in similar situations due to rising costs.
The videos shed light on the emotional toll on children, as seen in Montag’s 3-year-old Ryker, who broke down in tears upon seeing their bedroom. Despite the devastation, the family remained hopeful, with Pratt stating that they plan to use the Airstream as a place of rest and reflection. However, he remains uncertain about whether the trailer will become a permanent residence moving forward.
