Shark Tank’s Barbara Corcoran left devastated after losing her mobile home in the LA wildfires
Real estate mogul and Shark Tank investor Barbara Corcoran has revealed that she lost her Pacific Palisades mobile home in the Los Angeles wildfires.
Wildfires have ravaged the Los Angeles area since early this week, burning homes and even entire streets to the ground.
On Tuesday, fires ripped through the upscale Pacific Palisades enclave and quickly spread to surrounding suburbs as a storm carried embers and debris in all directions.
There are currently several fires that have yet to be contained, and many fear more damage this weekend as winds continue to increase.
Many celebrity homes have been destroyed, including Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Paris Hilton, Melissa Rivers and Ricki Lake.
Now Corcoran, who lives primarily in Manhattan, has been added to that list.
She announced the loss of her mobile home in an emotional Instagram post and shared a terrifying video of the area fully engulfed in flames.
It appeared the video was taken from someone’s car, with debris flying all around them.

“The devastating fires in LA this week have claimed so many lives. “The beloved Tahitian Terrace Mobile Home Park in Pacific Palisades, my little slice of heaven, was completely destroyed on Tuesday as the devastating Palisades Fire quickly spread through the park,” she wrote.
“For the past five years, I have had the privilege of owning a home in this loving, close-knit community,” her message continued.
“It’s a place where kindness thrives, friendships are cherished and neighbors become family. My heart breaks again and again when I see these incredible people who have built their lives here for decades, many of them seniors who poured their hearts and savings into their trailers and left with absolutely nothing,” Corcoran wrote.
In the post, she also shared that she has a GoFundMe page to help the community recover from the devastating damage.
“The money raised will be distributed by our dedicated tenant group to help those most in need meet immediate necessities such as food, clothing and shelter as they take the first steps toward rebuilding their lives,” Corcoran wrote .
“My heart goes out to all those displaced, and my deepest gratitude goes to the brave first responders working tirelessly to keep people safe,” her post concluded.
