The Pacific Palisades home famously featured in a 2019 episode of “The Hills: New Beginnings” has been reduced to ashes in a devastating fire, leaving Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag reeling from the loss, The Post has learned.
The home, where the couple gave viewers an intimate tour during the reboot of the hit reality series, became the latest casualty in the fast-moving California blaze that has forced more than 30,000 residents to evacuate.
During their 2019 episode, Pratt and Montag showed off their hilltop retreat, located on Chautauqua Boulevard with sweeping views of the Santa Monica Mountains.
The house became a symbol of their family life, from Pratt’s obsession with hummingbirds – sparked by Montag’s pregnancy – to their crystal collection and daily meal-preparation routines in the kitchen.
The fire broke out early Tuesday morning, engulfing the property in flames. Pratt, 41, shared a harrowing video on his Instagram Story showing crews battling the blaze from above, but by mid-morning, the home was reported to be “burnt to the ground,” according to TMZ .
Purchased in 2017 for $2.5 million with financial backing from Pratt’s parents, the 2,300-square-foot property had been a cornerstone of the couple’s post-reality TV life.
It featured three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen and an outdoor balcony that had become synonymous with their love of nature — especially the hummingbirds they fed and often highlighted in their social media posts.
The couple, along with their two young sons, were able to escape unharmed, but sources say they are devastated.
Recent posts had shown their family enjoying the home over the Christmas holidays, feeding the birds on the balcony and spending quiet moments in the living room.
The loss is especially poignant for fans of “The Hills,” who saw the house as more than a residence. It was a central part of their lives as parents, offering a glimpse into their struggle to balance reality TV fame with a peaceful family existence.
The fire continues to rage, with thousands of homes at risk and the region facing the constant threat of destruction.
At least two have died in the fires so far and at least 1,000 structures have been burned in the area.
