Sarah Staudinger has lost her childhood home.

In a series of posts shared on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Jan. 9, the Staud founder, 35, revealed that the home, located in thePacific Palisadesneighborhood of Los Angeles, burnt down due to the ongoing wildfires in the area.

“Thank you for the magical memories house,” Staudinger wrote in all caps over an Instagram Stories image of the sunset from the yard.

“Thank you for keeping us safe for so long and watching us grow up. Thank you for being there until the very end,” she continued. “We will miss you.”

In text written over the image, she thanked those who were “still out there tirelessly fighting for us.”

Dry vegetation and severe winds fueled the fires, which began on Tuesday, Jan. 7 in the Palisades.

Since then, 19,978 acres have burned, with hundreds of properties and businesses destroyed or damaged. As of Thursday night, the Palisades Fire was only 6% contained, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
