Emily Longeretta Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag were planning to celebrate the 15th anniversary of “Superficial” when tragedy hit: the wildfires in California burned down their home in Pacific Palisades. “It’s just the weirdest, craziest time,” Pratt tells Variety via Zoom. “When everything was going on, I saw an email pop up that the album was going live, and I was like, ‘Oh, my God.’ I just made a TikTok reminding people to stream.

I was looking for anything income-wise.” On Jan. 8, he shared the news that both his house and his parents’ house were lost in the fires, and posted videos from their evacuation and the damage they watched happen from afar via security footage — including one of their two sons’ beds catching fire in the shape of a heart. “I know people are like, ‘You’re rich, you will be fine.’ Yeah, I wish.

Everything in our house was paid for by Heidi and I hustling any way we could,” he wrote on TikTok at the time. “Everything we have worked for was in this house… we are starting at zero now.” So, Pratt began posting — a lot.

His follower count has increased by more than a million since the fire (he hit two million on Friday), and he has encouraged those watching to stream Montag’s music.
