Bozoma Saint John is mourning the loss of her house due to the widespread Pacific Palisades fires.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newcomer announced on Instagram that her Malibu home is gone.
“This is the house I wanted. The house I prayed for. The house I worked in blood, sweat and tears for. The house that I put a key pad instead of a key hole in the front door because I wanted all my family and friends to have a code and use the house whenever they wanted,” Bozoma began her caption on January 9.
This is the Place
Boz continues,
“This is the house where I found peace after battling with racist neighbors and a community that made me have to buy it in a trust within a trust so no one would know that widowed, single Black woman with a teenager was buying on the exclusively-held beach. This was my EFF YOU I’m here house. The house that I built a movie room dedicated to my sister so she could see her films in her own sanctuary. This is the house where I finally felt like I could choose to spend time… when I wanted to and how I wanted to.
It is gone.
This is an unimaginable loss. I grieve with the rest of Los Angeles as it burns… and even though I’ve found even words to write here, there’s nothing that I could say in this moment to describe this feeling.
I ask for your prayer for Lael and I.”

Yes, they are celebrities. Yes, they have more money than we’d know what to do with. But they are people with families and who have homes just like you or me.
Homes that keep us safe. Homes where your children have precious milestones.
Things are things, but I can’t imagine losing your sanctuary and peace.
