Heidi Montag breaks down in tears at site of burned down home 2 months after wildfires: ‘Never gets easier’
Heidi Montag got emotional when revisiting the site of her burned down house.
“It really never gets easier … coming back here,” the “Hills” alum, 38, said while tearing up in a video on Instagram Friday. She then let out a deep sigh and said softly, “Wow.”
Montag looked around at the debris and said she could still recognize some of her old belongings like a cup. She added, “I miss my house so much.”
The reality star, who was dressed in a cozy gray sweater with white hearts on it, continued to cry as she took in the site of her old home.
She reiterated in the caption of her post, “Ahhh I miss my house so much! It’s so hard.. Jesus help me.”
Her husband, Spencer Pratt, was by her side for the visit. Montag shared in a separate post Friday that he put up a hummingbird feeder as he had seen two birds fly around the area.
The MTV alum then admitted that she would feel “sad” when the debris was “all moved” because it’s a symbol of all the personal items she used to own. “Ah, it’s the last of everything,” she said.
“Hopefully, we’ll be able to rebuild,” Montag added with a hint of optimism. She then wrote in her caption, “One step at a time.”
Pratt, 41, decided to tap into his sense of humor when he visited his old home recently.
In a post on Instagram Thursday, he joked about calling Spectrum because he found a burnt cable box.
“Good news, Spectrum, I’m pretty sure this is the box you guys asked if I still have,” the reality star said with a big smile on his face. “I found it! How much am I going to get for it, though?”
Pratt and Montag were two of the many celebrities impacted by the California wildfires that ravaged the Palisades, Eaton and surrounding regions in January.
The mom of two said she was “devastated” at the time but was glad she and her family were “safe.”

Pratt then asked fans to stream his wife’s 2010 album, “Superficial,” to help them raise funds to rebuild. The album rose to the top of the charts on iTunes, reaching No. 1.
Pratt also shared that month that he had made thousands of dollars on TikTok due to the support from fans, which he said was “phenomenal and life-changing.”
He and Montag — along with 20 other residents — then decided to sue the city Los Angeles, claiming they poorly managed the region’s water supply and infrastructure. The case is pending.
