Actress Angelina Jolie has reportedly opened the doors of her sprawling $38 million Los Angeles mansion to close friends who have been evacuated from their own homes amid the California wildfires, providing them with a safe place to stay until they can return to their own properties.
The wildfires, which began Jan. 7 in Pacific Palisades, have thus far burned through more than 40,500 acres, per Cal Fire, and claimed 24 lives, according to the Associated Press. However, Jolie’s historic home, which she purchased for $24.5 million back in 2017, has thus far remained unscathed—and is outside all current evacuation zones.
“Angie is heartbroken for those who have lost their homes, or are impacted by the fires,” an unnamed insider said. “She’s doing everything she can to help, even opening her home to friends who were forced to evacuate.”
Jolie then confirmed these reports while speaking to reporters outside of a grocery store in L.A., saying in a video published by DailyMail.com: “Yeah, we’re having people at our house.”

At the time, the “Maria” starlet was seen picking up supplies with her 16-year-old son, Knox, and she noted that she planned to donate money to the wildfire relief efforts but that she was focusing on taking care of the people who had moved into her home.
“Yeah I will [donate], right now I’m taking care of people close to me and having them at my house,” she said.
Luckily, Jolie has plenty of room to house guests—even if her six children all happen to be living with her—inside her enormous 11,000-square-foot property, which boasts six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, on a 2-acre lot.
The property, which sits just a stone’s throw from the iconic Griffith Observatory, was once owned by famed filmmaker and philanthropist, Cecil B. DeMille.
Jolie paid just under the $24.95 million asking price for the home more than seven years ago, forking out $24.5 million, although Realtor.com® now estimates that the property is worth around $37.4 million.
In addition to its many bedrooms and bathrooms, the Beaux Arts-style mansion, which was built in 1913, also offers an array of living spaces, including a “beautiful pool house” and a “studio house” that has its own entrance.
