Diane Warren’s Millions-Loosing Soarngwriter Music Homefire

BBG News

Noted songwriter Diane Warren recently disclosed that one of her cherished items was sadly destroyed in the fires that swept through certain areas of Los Angeles earlier this month.

In simple terms, six days following a devastating fire that destroyed her Malibu seaside house, valued at approximately $5.2 million, the prize recipient disclosed that her white Yamaha piano was one of the items tragically consumed by the flames.

As I gaze out at this scene today, it’s hard to believe that just a week ago, this very view was mine. The ocean stretched before me, dotted with the graceful leaps of dolphins. Memories flooded back – the songs crafted here, the laughter shared, and the unforgettable moments that still linger in my mind.

But then, a devastating event occurred – my home was consumed by flames. As I reflect on those moments, I can’t help but think of all my friends who have faced similar hardships and lost their homes too.

In times like these, it is essential to remember that we are not alone. So, to each one of you, I extend my heartfelt love and strength. May you find the courage to face the challenges ahead, rebuild your lives, and create new memories in the days to come.

Over the weekend, I couldn’t contain my excitement any longer as I shared the heart-wrenching reality of the destruction with my 105K Instagram family. Before now, all they had seen were pre-devastation photos, but this time, I bared it all, revealing the true extent of the devastation that has left me speechless.

A video uploaded to her account displayed that only a few beams, pieces of twisted metal, and an unscathed red fire hydrant remained after the swift blaze, originating in Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades district, destroyed almost everything else.

Missing from the devastation was Warren’s gorgeous white piano.

As a dedicated songwriter who’s penned hits for artists like Cher, Beyoncé, Celine Dion, Aerosmith, LeAnn Rimes, and more, I didn’t make a personal visit to my old home’s site, but instead, I shared a video taken by a friend of mine.

He solemnly stated, “This here belongs to Diane,” as he provided the house’s address, with the howling wind and crashing waves serving as a backdrop.

He noted, “There’s not much left,” as he swept his camera from side to side, taking in the extent of the destruction around him.

The man positioned himself on ground-level, however, past the curb stretched a lower part of the house descending towards the shoreline, which held an abundance of discarded metal.

‘Devastated. Nothing left,’ he added in a low voice.

In her caption, Warren added, ‘Hadn’t seen it til now. Goodbye beautiful old friend.’

Rosanna Arquette expressed her affection, ‘I love you, Diane’, along with deep apologies for your sorrow, and sent her love in the comments.

Linda Thompson added her sympathies as well, expressing: “I’m sending you all my affection… I remain available to support you… This fire was truly heart-wrenching.

Immediately following the fire that razed her house, she shared a picture of a sizable stone from the seashore which she had snapped earlier.

She confessed that the recent photo I took of Leah’s rock was the final one, and then added that she had been the owner of her beach house for nearly three decades.

It appears that something was destroyed in last night’s fire, and there’s a rainbow above it which I interpret as a symbol of hope for all those impacted by this incident. Fortunately, the animals and the rescue ranch are unharmed, which is the crucial point. Everyone, please stay safe.

As a dedicated follower of the entertainment industry, I’ve learned that some well-known figures like James Woods, Anna Faris, Cary Elwes, Paris Hilton, Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman, Eugene Levy, Miles Teller, Billy Crystal, Adam Brody, and Leighton Meester have unfortunately experienced the loss of their homes due to recent fires.

Warren, who’s featured in the recent documentary “Diane Warren: Relentless,” is well-known not only as an accomplished songwriter, but also as a consistent contender for the Academy Awards.

Despite being awarded an honorary Oscar and being nominated for the competitive Academy Award fifteen times, she hasn’t managed to win it yet.

In spite of not receiving recognition from the Oscars, she has garnered numerous accolades, including a Grammy Award, an Emmy, two Golden Globe Awards, as well as several other distinctions.

Nevertheless, she could potentially receive her 16th Oscar nomination, given that her song “The Journey,” which H.E.R. sang in the Netflix war film The Six Triple Eight, has been included among 14 other tunes for consideration in the Best Original Song category at the 97th Academy Awards.

The announcements for the Academy Awards nominees are scheduled for this coming Thursday, the 23rd of January, starting at 5:30 a.m. Pacific Time or 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.
