Paris Hilton has shared the devastation of her California home on social media following the spread of wildfires across the state this week.

Over 100,000 people have been made to evacuate their homes, with some of Hollywood's elite amongst the affected residents.

An initial wildfire has gone out of control, helped along by strong wind gusts up to 70 mph in the US state.

As a result, the governor of California declared a state of emergency as the flames continued to spread across Los Angeles, destroying houses and decimating anything that stands in its way.

The BBC report that there are at least six wildfires now, including one making its way through the affluent Pacific Palisades neighbourhood.

Meanwhile, Associated Press (AP) report that least five people have died as a result of the conditions, while over 1,000 structures have been destroyed by the apocalyptic flames ravaging the city.

Initially, winds were too strong for firefighters to combat the wildfire from aircrafts above, though they have now been doing this since Wednesday (8 January).

Firefighters trying to deal with the flames have admitted to running out of water, while David Acuna, a battalion chief at the Californian Fire Service, explained to BBC's today programme that the fire is 'rapidly expanding', admitting that the progress on slowing it down 'is zero'.

Many celebrities, including Star Wars' Mark Hamill and Billy Crystal, took to social media to share the devastation of their homes, and now Paris Hilton has revealed the impact of the wildfires on her Malibu home.

Today (9 January), the businesswoman wrote on Instagram alongside news coverage of the fires: "Heartbroken beyond words.

"Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience.

"This home was where we built so many precious memories. It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London."

Describing the loss of the home as 'overwhelming', she acknowledged that her family and pets were safe, as she sent 'heart and prayers' out to every family that have been made to flee their home because of the fires.

"My heartaches for those still in harm’s way or mourning greater losses. The devastation is unimaginable. To know so many are waking up today without the place they called home is truly heartbreaking." Hilton wrote.

She added that her team at 11:11 Media Impact is 'already reaching out to nonprofit organisations' to support communities that have been hit by the horrific conditions as soon as possible.

The 43-year-old also showed gratitude for emergency services who are combating the fire, writing: "To the brave firefighters and first responders risking their lives to protect us—you are true heroes.

"I am so grateful for your courage, dedication, and the incredible sacrifices you’re making to save lives and fight this unimaginable battle. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

She also urged people to stay safe and listen to evacuation orders, highlighting that 'we're in this together, LA'.

"You never know when everything could change." she concluded.
