Despite losing her own home to the LA fires, Paris Hilton has chosen to foster a dog displaced by the disaster. Through her social media platforms, Hilton has been sharing her experiences with heartfelt passion, urging others to support the many animals affected by the fires.
Paris Hilton stresses the importance of fostering during raging LA wildfires
As the raging wildfires continue to wreak havoc across neighborhoods in Los Angeles, Paris Hilton is focusing on a cause close to her heart. At the Pasadena Humane Society, Hilton is not only volunteering her time but has also opened her heart and home to a new four-legged family member. The dog, affectionately named Zuzu, was surrendered by a family who lost everything to the blaze.
Standing before the crowded kennels at the shelter, Hilton took to Instagram to share her experience. She emphasized the urgent need for donations to provide critical resources during this crisis. “What’s most important is getting donations,” she said in another X (formerly Twitter) video, gently petting a cat rescued in Altadena, who had neither a collar nor a microchip. Hilton expressed a heartfelt urgency to reunite displaced animals with their owners, calling on the public to share any information that could help bring about happy endings for these pets.
While dealing with her personal loss, Hilton expressed gratitude that her family, including her two young children with husband Carter Reum, are safe. The emotional weight of watching her family home burn to the ground was palpable in her social media updates. “Heartbroken beyond words,” she wrote, reflecting on the memories lost with the destruction of her home.
According to CNN, the Los Angeles wildfires have wreaked havoc on both human and animal populations, with the Eaton fire alone claiming 16 lives and destroying over 14,000 acres. The Palisades fire, which obliterated Hilton’s Malibu mansion, has left a trail of devastation, burning over 23,700 acres and killing nine people. Amid this destruction, Hilton’s focus on the safety and care of displaced animals stands out as a beacon of hope.
