by

I’ve been curious about what became of Ricki Lake’s beloved abode. Ricki herself shared some distressing news – the destructive wildfires in Los Angeles sadly took away her cherished Malibu house, the very place where she exchanged vows with her husband, Ross Burningham.

Let’s take a look at these key points: The heartfelt declaration by Lake, the sequence of events regarding the fire, and the ways this catastrophe has affected celebrities and locals throughout Southern California.

What happened to Ricki Lake’s ‘Dream house’?

In Southern California, a series of destructive wildfires resulted in the loss of Ricki Lake’s cherished Malibu residence, a place she referred to as her “ideal home.

On January 8, 2025, Lake posted a heart-wrenching message on Instagram: “Everything is lost.” She disclosed that a courageous friend attempted to save the property but failed to prevent its devastation. Lake fondly referred to the home as a piece of heaven on earth and pointed out that she and her husband, Ross Burningham, had exchanged wedding vows there in January 2022.

5 and a half years ago, Lake acquired the Malibu property, and construction on the house began in 2019. In an August 2019 Facebook post, she shared her excitement about the project’s progress, saying, “My new #Malibu home is being built! I bought this special piece of land 5 1/2 years ago, and it’s now coming to life.

She frequently posted stunning sunset scenes from her residence on social networking platforms, and her loss is being termed as “incalculable” according to PEOPLE. Additionally, Lake conveyed her sorrow to those impacted by the fires, stating, “I mourn alongside everyone experiencing this catastrophic occurrence.

In Los Angeles County history, the Palisades fire, a particularly destructive wildfire, scorched over 11,800 acres, leaving behind the rubble of over 1,000 structures. This blaze led to mass evacuations, forcing approximately 100,000 residents to abandon their homes. The death toll currently stands at five.

A number of famous personalities such as Ricki Lake, Adam Brody, Leighton Meester, Anthony Hopkins, and Paris Hilton suffered property losses due to destructive wildfires. In response, Ashton Kutcher lent a hand by assisting friends in safeguarding their properties. Simultaneously, officials are advising residents to use water sparingly as firefighters grapple with resource constraints while battling the blazes.
