Multiple wildfires are currently impacting Los Angeles, leaving residents concerned about their homes’ safety.
Among those affected is Taylor Swift, who owns an expensive mansion in Beverly Hills.
Is Taylor Swift’s residence safe?
The fires in Palisades, Eaton, and Hollywood Hills have burned more than 10,600 acres in northern Los Angeles County, resulting in over 1,000 structures lost and five lives claimed.
High winds and dry weather have intensified the fire’s destructiveness, marking this as the worst wildfire season in the city’s history.
Over 100,000 individuals have had to evacuate, with other famous residents like Billy Crystal and Paris Hilton suffering losses as well.
As of January 9, 2025, Swift’s house is currently not at risk from the wildfires.
Her residence in Beverly Hills is several miles distant from the Pacific Palisades, the most severely impacted area.
Reports indicate that her mansion is outside of evacuation zones, and no evacuation alerts have been issued for her neighborhood.

Nonetheless, the city of Beverly Hills has cautioned residents about “unhealthy” air quality due to the smoke from the fires.
The mansion, which has historical significance having once been owned by famed producer Samuel Goldwyn, was constructed in 1934 and has a storied Hollywood legacy.
Swift acquired the property in 2015 for $25 million and it features six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a library, a gym, and tennis courts.
While the fires pose a considerable danger to the area, firefighters have been making strides toward securing control of the situation.
Fire crews have effectively contained some of the more hazardous regions, such as parts of Hollywood Hills, and officials are cautiously optimistic that a resolution may be on the horizon.
At present, Swift’s notable Beverly Hills estate remains secure, though air quality issues continue to highlight the peril of these wildfires.
