Country starBrad Paisleyis mourning the loss of his former home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles after it burned to the ground amid the devastatingPalisades Fireon Jan. 7.
“We lived in Pacific Palisades for years. 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 Nealonand wife Susan Yeagley],” Paisley wrote. “Walking to the local restaurants, the Gelson’s, and the Starbucks.”
“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,” Paisley wrote. “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.”
He continued, “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 you all.”
The couple sold their Palisades home in 2013, and now live near Nashville. The home was a restored, four-bedroom, three-bath house built in 1925, according to theLos Angeles Times.
Williams-Paisley commented on the post with her own grief, writing, “Beautiful post, thank you. I don’t have the words right now. 💔💔💔”
