Paris Hilton's beachfront home in Malibu has been reduced to a pile of burning rubble ... TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell us her beach house is completely gone after being burned to a crisp in the devastating Palisades fire.
The wildfire is sweeping through the Pacific Palisades and Malibu, burning down homes and businesses ... including a bunch of picturesque properties along PCH.
Paris is fortunate enough to own multiple properties, and the Malibu house she lost in the fire is NOT her main residence ... but it's still got to be a heartbreaking loss for her.
Others who have lost their homes in the inferno are now staying with friends and relatives or in hotels ... but as we've told you, lots of hotels are now packed to the gills as a result of all the evacuations.
The Palisades fire was the first to erupt Tuesday morning, but now L.A. is besieged by a few other wildfires ... with no end in sight.

Paris Hilton has lost her Malibu, Calif. home amid ongoing fires in the Pacific Palisades.
In a social media post shared Wednesday, Jan. 8, the businesswoman and activist, 43, revealed that her SoCal home had burned down completely. She learned of the loss while watching it unfold on live television.
“Heartbroken beyond words.💔 Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience,” Hilton began as the caption to her Instagram post.
Her upload showed a reporter from Los Angeles news station ABC 7 surveying the damage along the Pacific Coast Highway after the fire initially broke out on Tuesday, Jan. 7.
“This home was where we built so many precious memories. It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London,” the mother of two wrote.
The Simple Life star welcomed son Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum via surrogate on Jan. 16, 2023. His sister London Marilyn Hilton Reum arrived via surrogate as well in November 2023.
