West Virginia native and Country Music star Brad Paisley posted on Facebook Thursday that the house that he and wife. actress, Kimberly Williams-Paisley first purchased together in Pacific Palisades, California was destroyed in this week’s wildfires.
“We lived in Pacific Palisades for years,” Paisley wrote, “It was the first house Kim and I bought together. Memories were made with some of our dearest friends- the first nursery we had to prep, the birthing classes with Kevin Nealon and Susan Yeagley. Walking to the local restaurants, the Gelson’s, and the Starbucks.”
Paisley said the house burned down Wednesday night.
“That beautiful old house burned last night. As did most of that community. So many good people displaced, devastated and cast out all over LA. I would post a link to donate or raise awareness or something but it all feels so much bigger than that. I don’t know where to begin. I’m sure those of you reading this will find some way to help if you can, but mostly right now I just want to mourn the loss of a town. And acknowledge the beauty and the memories of what it was. It is all so tragic and sad. Love to you all.”
The couple sold the house in 2013. They now live in Tennessee.
The fires have also destroyed the homes of Billy Crystal, Ricki Lake and Paris Hilton.
More than 17,000 acres had burned by Thursday afternoon with more than a thousand structures destroyed. The fire has yet to be contained.
Paisley, a native of Glen Dale, and Williams were married in March 2003.
