Jhené Aiko Says She Doesn't Have 'Paris Hilton Money' After Losing Home In Los Angeles Fires

Jhené Aiko has shared a message expressing her appreciation for her family after revealing that she lost her home in the Los Angeles fires.

Many celebrities were affected by the massive inferno that ravaged Southern California, with some of them taking to social media to share their losses.

Aiko did so, too, but felt the need to clarify some fans' perceptions about her after news of her home loss made the headlines.

On Thursday, Aiko shared an update on her Instagram Stories revealing that she and her children lost their home due to the Los Angeles wildfires.

In the first slide of her post, Aiko offered prayers for those affected by the deadly inferno.

She wrote, "Praying for everyone this morning. Those who lost their home, those who lost their life's work, those who lost their life. Praying for my city. Praying for the wildlife and lost pets. Praying for the world. Let suffering be a gift; a lesson in compassion."

In the next slide, the "Stay Ready" singer, who shares son Noah Hasani with rapper Big Sean and daughter Namiko Love Browner with her former love and R&B singer O'Ryan, revealed that she would be starting from scratch as her home got burned in the fire.

She wrote, "Me and my children's home is gone burned to the ground with all of our things inside. Lord have mercy. Thankful we still have each other. Starting from scratch. My heart is so heavy."

After Aiko shared the update about her home loss, social media blog The Shade Room reposted her Instagram Stories post.

Many fans commiserated with the singer, but some people noted that Aiko is as rich as Paris Hilton, who also lost her Malibu home in the massive fires and can easily buy another house.

Aiko caught wind of the comments lacking empathy and shared her thoughts in the comments section.

"The fact that some of you think I have Paris Hilton money is wild," she began. "I don't got it like that, but I do have a big, loving family that is worth more than anything."

The "Living Room Flow" crooner recalled when her family home burned down when she was seven years old, revealing how they helped each other through the difficult period.

She wrote, "When I was in the 2nd grade, our home burned down with everything in it. I never understood why some of the kids at school were so mean about it, because they thought we were rich when we weren't. But they thought we were rich because we had love!!"

Aiko added, "My family and our friends came together and made sure my mom and me and my siblings had at least 1 new sweat suit and 1 pair of shoes the very next day."

She concluded, "I am fortunate enough to be in a better situation than back then. And I pray I can have as much grace as my mother did during that time. I work very hard for my family. I pray that you all stay safe. God bless."

Many fans reacted to the repost of Aiko's comment and empathized with her.

One fan wrote, "Just because of someone's wealth doesn't mean they can't feel grief over things they've lost. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot."

A second person commented, "It's insane that because you all presume her to be wealthy that she can't speak on a tragedy that has affected her. The struggle Olympics is insane with you all."

A third fan added, "I love that about her and always will. She's real, humble, and just genuine."

Besides Aiko, other celebrities who lost their homes in the devastating wildfires that burned through Southern California include Leighton Meester, Adam Brody, Anna Faris, and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Others include Paris Hilton, Spencer and Heidi Pratt, Cameron Mathison, Diane Warren, James Woods, Ricki Lake, Billy Crystal, and Melissa Rivers.

Anthony Hopkins, Jennifer Grey, John Goodman, and Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles, also lost their properties to the flames.

The Los Angeles wildfires are now regarded as the most destructive in the city's history, with the effects still being processed.

The tragedy led to over 180,000 evacuations, while over a thousand properties were lost.

Firefighter crews have continued to battle the raging inferno, which also caused severe damage to wildlife and vegetation.
