Paris HiltonPhoenix Rheum’s son finds purpose in the ruins of the raging Los Angeles wildfires!

The pop culture icon revealed that her son became fascinated with firefighters after witnessing their valiant efforts to contain the devastating Palisade wildfire.

Paris Hilton and her family have been devastated by the fires, as her Malibu beach house went up in flames just a day after the blaze broke out.

The socialite was spotted taking her son for a quick stop at the Beverly Glen Deli in Los Angeles on Monday, where she revealed he’s gotten some clarity on his future ambitions.

According to Hilton, her firstborn Reum idolizes firefighters and rescuers and wants to become one himself.

Well, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Hilton and her family have shown an enviable dedication to firefighting and have contributed financially to the cause.

The star was one of the first celebrities to lose their homes shortly after the fires started and spread to large areas of Los Angeles, including Pacific Palisades and Altadena.

Hilton said she took in a foster pet, identified as Zuzu, whose owners surrendered him after they lost everything in the fire. She said: “We all just fell in love with him. So we’re going to adopt him.”

She also encouraged anyone interested to join the program and adopt or foster a pet through the Pasadena Humane Society or another local shelter as help is urgently needed.

Hilton ended the conversation with TMZ sending love and well wishes to Spencer Pratt and his wife Heidi Montag who lost their home in a fire. She offered to work with them on any project that would help them get back on their feet.

The doting mom bravely headed out to check out the remains of what was once a large home on the Malibu coast where she lived and made memories with her family.

As shared ExplosionHilton uploaded a video from the ruins on Instagram and added a long caption detailing her state of mind and emotions.

“I stand here in the place where our house used to be, and the grief is truly indescribable. When I first saw the news, I was in complete shock—I couldn’t process it. But now, standing here and seeing it with my own eyes, it feels like my heart broke into a million pieces,” the business mogul began.

She described her home as a place where she and her family “dreamed, laughed and made the most beautiful family memories.”

Hilton, who has a son, London, and a daughter, Marilyn, with husband Carter Rheaum, recalled that the home was a place where “her son’s little hands created art” that she will cherish forever.

She described the home as her sanctuary where “love and life fill every corner” and to see it reduced to ashes was “devastating beyond words”. The DJ expressed his sympathy to other people who lost their homes, saying:

“It’s not just the walls and roofs, it’s the memories that made these houses a home. These are photos, souvenirs, irreplaceable parts of our lives.”

Despite her loss, Hilton admitted she was lucky to make it out safely with her family.

“And yet, as I feel this pain, I know that I am incredibly lucky. My loved ones, my children and my pets are safe. That is the most important thing and I hold on to that gratitude with everything I have,” she wrote.

The reality star praised “all the firefighters, first responders and volunteers who risk their lives to fight these fires.” She also thanked everyone who sent her “love, prayers and kindness,” citing that their actions give her hope that despite the chaos, there is still so much beauty to be seen in the world.

Hilton concluded her caption by encouraging everyone to realize that “life can change in an instant and the love we share really does matter.”

Explosion reported that an influential person told the public that she and her family had sheltered some families who had lost their homes in the fire.

“We’ve picked up essentials and gifts for the displaced families we’ve hosted at the @Hilton in Montebello. My heart is with them, and the opportunity to bring comfort and a smile to their faces is something I will never forget, – the TV host wrote.

She has also been busy volunteering at animal shelters and caring for animals left behind by runaway families. In the process, the relocated dog tugged at her heartstrings, and Hilton said she decided to foster him.

“Fostering is such an important way to help if you can — if you can, please consider giving a temporary or permanent home to animals in need,” the heiress shared.

The famous DJ was shocked when she saw on the news that her beloved house was engulfed in flames. She shared the heartwarming clip on her Instagram saying:

“Sitting with my family watching the news and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground live is something no one will ever have to experience.”

Still, she was grateful for the gift of having family and pets around. “Although the loss is overwhelming, I remain grateful that my family and pets are safe,” she wrote.

“My heart and prayers go out to every family affected by these fires. For all the people who lost their homes, their memories and their beloved pets. My heart goes out to those who are still at risk or mourning greater losses,” Hilton. added.

Since the fires began, Hilton has raised more than $800,000 through her nonprofit organization, 11:11 Media Impact, to provide direct cash assistance to families affected by the fire.
