As of January 10, 2025, Vice President Kamala Harris’s Los Angeles residence in the Brentwood neighborhood is under threat from the massive wildfires sweeping through Southern California. Although neither Harris nor her husband, Doug Emhoff, were at the property, the area is under an evacuation order. A spokesperson for Harris confirmed that she is deeply concerned and praying for the safety of Californians, first responders, and those assisting in the evacuation efforts.
The wildfires, which have burned over 26,000 acres, have forced the evacuation of approximately 155,000 residents. Many celebrity homes in high-profile neighborhoods, including Malibu and Pacific Palisades, have been consumed by the flames. Additionally, widespread power outages are impacting nearly a million residents across the state.
President Joe Biden has declared a major disaster in California, mobilizing federal resources to aid in combating the fires. Vice President Harris has canceled an international trip to Singapore, Bahrain, and Germany to focus on coordinating the federal response from Washington, D.C.
The situation remains dire, with worsening weather conditions expected to fuel the fire’s spread, putting more lives and properties at risk.
