Wildfires are causing serious damage in Los Angeles, displacing thousands, including some well-known celebrities. Figures like Paris Hilton and Billy Crystal have expressed their sadness over losing their belongings. Jhene Aiko is among the latest victims; she shared a photo of her house's ruins on Instagram with a touching message. Unfortunately, instead of support, some users mocked her loss because of her wealth. Aiko responded to the criticism, making it clear that she was not expecting such negativity. In her post, she expressed gratitude that no one was inside during the fire. While she hoped for compassion, many followers criticized her, claiming she could easily replace what she lost. Some even suggested she should have as much money as Paris Hilton given her career length. Aiko responded hours later, emphasizing that her family's safety is her top priority and that her pain is just as real as anyone else's. She noted that people assume she has wealth like Hilton, but that’s not true. Aiko reminded them that her loving family is what matters the most. In a longer follow-up, she revealed her own past experience with losing a home to a fire as a child. She expressed gratitude for her current situation and wished to handle this challenge with the same strength her mother showed back then. She concluded by sending prayers to others affected by the wildfires in Northern California and called out those who belittled her loss because of her financial status.
