“This is the house where I found peace after battling with racist neighbors and a community that made me have to buy it in a trust within a trust so no one would know that widowed, single Black woman with a teenager was buying on the exclusively-held beach,” she continued. “This was my EFF YOU I’m here house. The house that I built a movie room dedicated to my sister so she could see her films in her own sanctuary. This is the house where I finally felt like I could choose to spend time … when I wanted to and how I wanted to.”

“It is gone,” she wrote. “This is an unimaginable loss. I grieve with the rest of Los Angeles as it burns … and even though I’ve found even words to write here, there’s nothing that I could say in this moment to describe this feeling. I ask for your prayer for Lael and I. God bless you.”

“The support within this community and from our neighbors is something like I’ve never experienced. We are family. Which embodies the essence of the Palisades to begin with. My heart breaks, EVERYTHING is burnt to the ground, how is this real?” she then asked.

In a followup video, she was seen driving in her car, with her dog in the back seat.

“Sunny and I are safe and we’re driving. The reason why I say evacuate now, even if it’s not close to you, even if you don’t have someone to go, is because there’s traffic,” she warned viewers. “That is not good.
