on Nov 13, 2018
Fires Wreck The State Of California
Over the past few days, wildfires have raged in California, forcing thousands of Los Angeles residents to evacuate their homes. According to a report published by The New York Times on Monday evening (November 12), the major Camp Fire that torched the city of Paradise was only 30% contained at that time.
The same article states that 42 known deaths have resulted from the fires so far. That toll makes the fires the deadliest to ever hit the state of California.

In addition, the fire is the most destructive one on the state’s history, already destroying over 7,100 structures. Many of those structures are homes, including one owned by singer and former Voice coach, Miley Cyrus.
Miley Was One Of Many To Lose A Home
After being absent from Twitter since July, Cyrus took to the social platform to reveal that her home was one of the many claimed by the fires ravaging the state of California.
She shared that she, her pets, and “the love of [her] life,” longtime partner Liam Hemsworth, were all safe.
Completely devestated by the fires affecting my community. I am one of the lucky ones. My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely & that’s all that matters right now. My house no longer stands but the memories shared with family & friends stand strong. I am grateful for

Getting Others To Help
Wanting to do her part to help, Cyrus is leading the charge in encouraging others to assist in any way they can.
