Hilary Duff Takes in Celeb Friend After LA Wildfires Damaged Her Home

Hilary Duff offered refuge for her friend and fellow celebrity Mandy Moore and her family following destruction because of the Eaton fire in Altadena, California.

TooFab reported that Moore shared that the “main part” of her and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith’s Altadena home “is still standing” in the caption of a January 10 Instagram post. She said that “it’s not livable but mostly intact.” She also noted that the fire left Goldsmith’s brother, Griffin Goldsmith, and his wife, Kit Goldsmith, without their home.

Page Six reported that Griffin Goldsmith shared that Duff and her husband, Matthew Koma, have welcomed Moore and her family into their house.

“They are currently housing my brother’s family. They’ve taken care of my entire family from the moment this began,” wrote Griffin Goldsmith in a January 12 Instagram post.

Griffin Goldsmith Mentioned the GoFundMe Made by Hilary Duff & Matthew Koma

According to Page Six, Griffin Goldsmith mentioned that Duff and Koma made a GoFundMe fundraiser to help him and his wife, who are expecting their first child, following the fire in his Instagram post.

“Our dear friends @matthewkoma and @hilaryduff thought it wise to set up a gofundme for us to help with everything moving forward,” wrote Goldsmith in his social media post.

In addition, he thanked Duff and Koma for helping him and his family through this difficult time.

“I will never be able to thank them adequately. This is the kindest act any human could do for another. They are the most beautiful, selfless people we’ve ever known,” continued Goldsmith.

Page Six reported that Moore got some backlash for sharing the GoFundMe fundraiser on her Instagram Stories. Moore shared she was frustrated by the criticism in a separate Instagram Story.

“We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF. no one is forcing you to do anything,” wrote Moore, as reported by Page Six.

Moore’s former friend, Spencer Pratt, who lost his home in the Pacific Palisades fire, defended her in a January 12 TikTok upload. He described Moore as a kind and lovely person. Pratt also warned his social media followers to stop criticizing Moore.

“A lot of people I follow, you are popping up on my page. I want to block you, and stitch you, and come for you. But maybe delete your content about Mandy Moore because Mandy Moore is a real one,” said Pratt during his TikTok video.
