Jesinta Franklin rallies behind friend whose house was destroyed in LA fires: 'I'm heartbroken for you all'

Jestinta Franklin has rallied behind a friend whose home was completely destroyed in the devastating LA fires.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the AFL WAG revealed that she was 'heartbroken' at the news that friend Sasha Strabe's family home had been razed in the horrific Eaton fire, north of Pasadena.

The former Miss Universe Australia, 33,  shared a heartbreaking photo that showed the remains of her friend's home, which had been completely destroyed by the blaze.

'Heartbroken for the beautiful @sacha_strabe and her family, a dear friend from a long time ago' Jesinta captioned the sobering image.

Continuing, Jesinta revealed that the home had been a labour of love for the family who had been renovating the property over the last few years.

'Watching your journey with this home, the love you poured into the renovations you were slowly doing bit by bit. The joy I saw it bring to you,' she wrote. 

'To hear it is now gone leaves me heartbroken for you all.'

Jesinta continued revealing that she planned to help her friend in any way she could, sharing a link to a GoFundMe page set up for he devastated family.

'If you know Sasha, you know she is kind caring and generous,' Jesinta said.

'It's hard to know what to do or how to help in these times but donating to this little family makes me feel like at least I can play a very very small part in helping out in such an awful situation for so many,'

At the time of publication the GoFundMe had raised more than $86,000 (USD) for the family. 

Jesinta also shared a short clip shot by a friend living in LA. Taken from his rooftop the frightening clip showed the LA skyline engulfed in flames.

'Our mate sending this to us from his rooftop in LA,' she captioned the clip. 

'Frightening scenes. Absolutely devastating.'   

Jesinta recently revealed she and husband Lance 'Buddy' Franklin plan to relist their lavish Gold Coast mansion after it failed to sell at auction.

The power couple took the sprawling 'Mediterranean' style seven-bedroom home off the market in September after it passed in at auction for $11million.

With the auction price not meeting their reserve, Jesinta, 33, told Daily Mail Australia in November they plan to put their luxury property back on the market in the New Year.

She said they will be looking for any buyers to snap up their family home for upwards of $11million.

'We'll relist in the New Year, it passed in at auction,' the model explained.

'It passed in for $11million, so if there's anyone over $11million out there that wants a beautiful house on the Gold Coast, you know who to call!'

The couple are selling up to try out the farm life with their kids - daughter Tullulah, three, and son Rocky, two.

'We are looking at so many properties, we spend our weekends out in the country, driving and looking for land,' she shared.

'We haven't found the perfect spot yet, but I feel like we're getting close.

'It's really important to get the right piece of land for what we want to do and it's really exciting.'

Jesinta also told how her family life has changed since Buddy retired from the AFL in July 2023 following a calf injury.

'It's been so good [having Bud at home],' she said.

'It's just been amazing, it really flows now and we can both really support each other with our work commitments and all of that, so it's been fantastic, he's such a good dad.'

She said they have been able to fit in more time to take their kids on fun trips and activities as she told how important it is for them to enjoy this time together.

'I'm just loving being a mum, I really took a step back this year from work to spend time with the kids because Bud took a year off, obviously his first year being retired, and Lulu starts school next year,' she shared.

'It's a privilege we are able to get this time with the kids. 

'It's a lot of caravanning, camping, time at the beach, time at the creeks and the waterfalls and just really cherishing this time with them before school starts!'
