Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt Can’t Rebuild in Palisades

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt will likely not be able to afford rebuilding their 2,300-square-foot dream home torched by this year’s firestorm in the Pacific Palisades.

The reality TV couple who starred in “Laguna Beach” and “The Hills” may not have the scratch to put their home back together at 1420 Chautauqua Boulevard, the Independent and Yahoo!entertainment reported.

Montag said she and Pratt are unlikely to keep the 0.2-acre lot where their home once stood while having to still pay the mortgage on the memory.

The couple and their two kids are living in a rented house in Santa Barbara, and the singer doesn’t think that they’ll make it back to Pacific Palisades.

“They’re saying it’s gonna cost $5 million to rebuild the house that cost a third of that,” Montag told the Independent. “We just don’t have the finances, and I’m not sure we can keep our lot because you still have to pay a mortgage on it.”

Bought in 2017 for $2.5 million with financial support from Pratt’s parents, the 2,300-square-foot property had been a cornerstone of the couple’s post-reality TV life, according to the New York Post. The purchase price was substantiated by public records.

The two-story cliffside home had three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen and a balcony tied to their love for nature — especially the hummingbirds they nurtured and highlighted in their social media posts.

It was on Jan. 6 that Pratt filmed the wildfire barrelling toward their home, documenting the ordeal on Snapchat and TikTok.

“All fun and games having a thousand crystals until you’re packing them up because a fire’s coming around the corner, let me tell you,” Pratt told his followers, as he painstakingly wrapped the expensive crystals he sells for evacuation.

The home, built in 1949 on the Chautauqua rim overlooking the Santa Monica mountains, was featured in a 2019 episode of “The Hills: New Beginnings.” It was among the more than 6,800 homes burned by the Pacific Palisades fire. Another 6,000 homes also burned in Altadena.

The Pratts have spoken out on social media and in news interviews about what they lost in the fire and their efforts to raise money in its wake, according to the Los Angeles Times.

In January, Pratt made a public plea for fans to buy and stream his wife’s 2010 album “Superficial,” sending it to No. 1 on the iTunes chart. He also said he’d made a “life-changing” amount of money on TikTok from fans wanting to help his family recover.

Montag and Pratt were among dozens of Pacific Palisades residents who sued the city of Los Angeles and the L.A. Department of Water and Power, alleging the city’s operation of its water supply, as well as its related infrastructure, are responsible for the damage to their homes.

The complaint referred to the 117-million gallon Santa Ynez Reservoir, which was supposed to service the area but was emptied early last year before the fire raged through the coastal neighborhood.
