Tyra Banks reveals her home burned down in LA fires during emotional TV interview /d

Tyra Banks lost her home in the Los Angeles fires.

The supermodel revealed on the Australian morning show “Sunrise” Monday that her and partner Louis Bélanger-Martin‘s house burned down, explaining why she had not “really talked about it” publicly yet.

“I just didn’t want to pull a lot of attention to me,” she said. “I feel like there’s a lot of people that need that attention. … But I can’t sit here and not tell the truth.”

Banks, 51, went on to describe the moment she found out her property had been destroyed.

“We were at a friend’s house here, and we were celebrating and having fun,” she recalled. “I kept checking my phone, not for my house, but for friends and family, making sure they were evacuating and everything.

“And then I asked my partner, I was like, ‘I’m seeing something here, what do you think?’ and he [nodded],” the former “America’s Next Top Model” host continued.

Banks “pulled it together and just didn’t say anything to [her] friends and just stayed in the moment.”

She added, “And then we went home, and we cried, and we had our moment.”

The former Victoria’s Secret Angel clarified that she, Bélanger-Martin and her 8-year-old son, York, primarily divide their time between their homes in New York and Australia.

“A lot of those memento-mementos are here and in New York, so I didn’t lose that, thank goodness,” she assured viewers.

However, Banks acknowledged, “There were some mementos that we lost. … It’s tough.”

The Daytime Emmy winner subsequently took to Instagram to address her followers in a post captioned, “I feel weird.”

In the footage, however, she did not mention the wildfires and instead said that “it felt nice to put on some clothes, put on some makeup” and talk about her ice cream ventures on the morning show.

Banks is one of many A-listers whose homes have been reduced to ash, with Candy Spelling, Paris Hilton and more stars’ mansions falling victim to the wildfires in California.

At least 27 individuals have died in the tragedy, with the destruction continuing due to the area’s infamous Santa Ana winds.
