Acquired in 2021 alongside her husband Carter Reum, the residence was valued at more than $8 million and was showcased in her Netflix series, Cooking With Paris. She said she was "heartbroken beyond words" to see her Malibu home "burn to the ground on live TV."
"This home was where we built so many precious memories. It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London," she said in a post on Instagram.
