Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag sue city officials over home that burned down in LA fire
NY Post
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are taking legal action after losing their home in the deadly Palisades Fire.
“The Hills” alums are suing the city of Los Angeles and the L.A. Department of Water and Power (DWP) over the damage to their $3 million house, which was destroyed in the destructive wildfire earlier this month, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Pratt, 41, and his wife, 38, filed the lawsuit on Tuesday, alleging inverse condemnation — defined by the outlet as a legal concept that gives property owners compensation or damage caused by public use.
The “Laguna Beach” stars claim the city and DWP are to blame for losing their home — and cite several reasons for their allegations, including water supply.
In the suit, Pratt and Montag allege that a nearby reservoir was empty — and had been for months — when the fire near their property ignited, per TMZ.
They claim that water flow to fire hydrants and tankers in the beloved Pacific Palisades neighborhood — home to stars like Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks, Anthony Hopkins, Billy Crystal and Eugene Levy — was limited to firefighters who ran out of water while trying to battle the blaze.
