Jhené Aiko and Her Children Safe After House ‘Burned to the Ground’ in L.A. Fires: ‘Starting from Scratch’

Jhené Aiko has lost her home in the L.A. fires.

On Thursday, Jan. 9, the R&B singer, 36, revealed that she and her son Noah Hasani, 2 — whom she shares with Big Sean — and daughter Namiko Love, 16, are safe — but their home has been destroyed.

“praying for everyone this morning,” Aiko wrote on Instagram. “those who lost their home, those who lost their life’s work, those who lost their life. praying for my city. praying for the wild life and lost pets. praying for the world 💙.”

She added: “let suffering be a gift; a lesson in compassion.”

In the second slide, Aiko revealed her and her children’s home “is gone.”

“burned to the ground with all of our things inside. Lord have mercy 🙏 Thankful we still have eachother 💙 starting from scratch. My heart is so heavy 💔,” she wrote.

“God bless us ALL 💙,” she captioned the post.

Since a series of wildfires began earlier this week, they have devastated swaths of Southern California, causing thousands of residents to evacuate as it rapidly engulfs large parts of the Los Angeles area.

Many of the more than 80,000 people that were displaced were celebrities who have called the area home for decades. Some, including Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Anna Faris, Ricki Lake, Cary Elwes, Cameron Mathison, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, have confirmed that their homes have been destroyed.
