Singapore woman's $62 million family home in Malibu feared destroyed by LA fires
Entire neighbourhoods in California have been levelled after wildfires tore through parts of Los Angeles since last Tuesday (Jan 7).
According to ABC News on Sunday, it is estimated that the fires could be the costliest in US history, destroying more than 12,000 structures, including multimillion-dollar properties across the Pacific Palisades and Malibu, home to many Hollywood stars.
One Singaporean woman living in the US has also expressed fear that her family's beachfront mansion in Malibu is among the many homes that have been incinerated by the fire.
The 39-year-old homemaker, Zeng Xiangting (transliteration), currently lives in West Los Angeles with her husband and children, reported Shin Min Daily News. She shared that while they remain safe from the wildfires for now, their holiday home overlooking Malibu beach is unlikely to have survived the fire.
Speaking to Shin Min Daily News, she shared that the house is usually used by her mother-in-law to conduct tea ceremony classes.
