Chrissy Teigen Is ‘Feeling Grateful’ to Return Home After Evacuating Amid Los Angeles Fires

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are among the lucky few who have been able to return home amid the fires that continue to devastate Los Angeles.

The Cravings author, who has been sharing resources for fire victims via social media, took to her Instagram Stories on Monday (Jan. 13) to reveal that she and her family were safely able to go back to their house after evacuating last week. “Feeling grateful to be back home,” she wrote alongside a photo of a chocolate birthday cake with two John Cena action figures placed on top. “This is all I could muster up for Esti’s birthday.”

Teigen and Legend’s third child, Esti Maxine, turned two years old on Jan. 14. See her post on Stories before it disappears here.

At the time of publication, the Palisades fire has burned more than 23,000 acres and is only 17% contained, while the east-side Eaton fires are 35% contained at 14,000 acres.  In the past week, the city has suffered 24 deaths, nearly 100,000 people under evacuation orders, and more than 12,000 structures destroyed.

A number of resources are available for those who have lost their homes or need assistance in other ways. MusiCares and the Recording Academy have launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to support music professionals impacted by the crisis, making a combined pledge of $1 million to kick off the efforts. People who have worked in the music industry for more than five years may qualify for immediate assistance, including up to $1,500 in financial aid and $500 in food vouchers.
