Earlier, Crosby said she and her husband, Ken Sylk, and their dog were safe, but she was unsure if her home was still there.
Crosby, the granddaughter of the late Bing Crosby, later posted several videos of a smoke-ridden Sunset Boulevard in the Pacific Palisades on Tuesday, Jan. 7.
Before she learned her home was destroyed, she revealed that her home had stood for 100 years. “So scared! My beautiful Spanish house has survived 100 years! Please, Casa, you have been so good to me, I pray for you!#PalisadesFire,” she wrote on X.
After she shared the news, she also told X users, “This is a time of caring,” adding, “I’ve lost everything, a great equalizer. Don’t judge, HELP!”
