As the wildfires in California continue to ravage homes and communities, one couple faced the devastating loss of their possessions while a statue of the Virgin Mary miraculously survived unscathed. Among those impacted is reality star Heidi Montag, whose album skyrocketed to number one on iTunes after losing her Pacific Palisades home.

Meanwhile, celebrity chef Sandra Lee's new dream home is now under threat from the spreading fires, following her split from former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and her ongoing battle with cancer.

These stories serve as a stark reminder of the unpredictable and destructive power of wildfires, which have already forced thousands to evacuate their homes in California. While Montag finds solace in her music's success despite the loss of her property, others like Lee face the ongoing uncertainty of potentially losing a new beginning after overcoming personal struggles. And the untouched Virgin Mary statue stands as a symbol of hope and resilience amidst the chaos.
