Jillian Michaels is one of the few whose Malibu home has miraculously survived the devastating LA fires.
The Hollywood trainer joins Tom Hanks, Kate Hudson, Mark Hamill, and other stars whose properties have managed to escape the flames, which have claimed at least 16 lives and forced over 100,000 evacuations.
Unfortunately, not all celebrities escaped unscathed, as stars like Anthony Hopkins, Paris Hilton, Spencer Pratt, Jeff Bridges, and others saw their homes go up in smoke.
In new photos, Michaels’ beachfront mansion stands largely untouched amidst the charred remains of her neighbors’ homes, offering a stark contrast to the devastation surrounding it.
A few minor damages are visible on the 4,300-square-foot property, which boasts 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, and which Michaels tried to sell in 2017 for $9.75 million.
The report comes just days after the Biggest Loser star exclusively told DailyMail.com that she is ‘personally outraged’ by the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles and has a bone to pick with California’s government.

‘People are dead, homes have burned, it is not your first rodeo,’ she told DailyMail.com. ‘It is not.’
‘And when you know that you have a state that is prone to fire and — I’m going to give it to you — you’ve got global warning, you have literally have a tinderbox,’ the Balance by Jillian Michaels founder continued.
‘Isn’t this the part where you take the highest taxed, highest income tax, highest sales tax, highest gas tax and rebuild the infrastructure?’
She is especially not a fan of California’s Governor Gavin Newsom and the way he has been handling the wildfire outbreak.
He has been the state’s Governor since 2019.
The fitness celebrity went on to claim that Newsom had known about the fires since early this week, when he began to mobilize certain resources to the area, but she said he had failed to take enough action.
She believes that he should have called in the National Guard to help battle these fires much earlier.
‘I’m sorry, and the reason for me this is super serious is because this guy wants to be your president. This now goes from a California problem to a country-wide problem,’ Michaels said about Newsom.

‘Just look at it, look at it with your own eyes,’ the Keeping It Real podcast host continued.
‘I am uniquely acquainted with it. I have been through it.’
During the interview, she also admitted that she believes California should be doing ‘controlled burns,’ something that she says has been done elsewhere for years.
Per National Geographic, controlled burns are ‘setting planned fires to maintain the health of a forest,’ which can be set when there will not be a threat to the public.
The right weather conditions are essential for a controlled burn to ensure that it won’t spread.
Michaels also hit back against environmental activists who didn’t believe in these prescribed burns.
In October, the U.S. Forest Service put a pause on prescribed burns on federal land, per the San Francisco Chronicle.
‘How many mountain lions? How many coyotes?’ Michaels wondered.

‘We’re all seeing pictures of baby deer running down burning roads, tell me, how is that working out for the environment now?’
The fire that burned down Michaels’ house in 2018 was ‘sparked by utility equipment in fierce winds,’ per CNN, as a ‘guy wire on a steel pole with an energized conductor’ caused heated material to fall on an area of vegetation, which started the fires.
On Wednesday, the certified nutritionist also took to X to share her thoughts, calling it ‘pure incompetence.’
‘I’m so so upset for the people of California,’ she wrote, in part.
‘My family who stayed. My lifelong friends who live there. Our brave firefighters. This is not a partisan issue it’s pure incompetence and misprioritization.’
