Jhene Aiko returns to find her 'cozy cottage dream' home reduced to rubble after burning in LA fire

Jhené Aiko revealed the devastating impact of Los Angeles' ongoing fires over the weekend.

The 36-year-old singer — who revealed last week that her home in LA's Pacific Palisades neighborhood had burned to the ground — returned to the scene and shared videos of the destruction to her Instagram Stories.

Aiko — who pushed back on cruel social media comments from unsympathetic fans — surveyed the property, where little was left except a few brick walls and a burned-out car and air-conditioning unit.

'My cozy cottage dream,' she captioned the video, adding a teary-eyed emoji. 'That brick stood its ground tho,' she added.

So far, the blazes have led to the deaths of at least 16 people, and over 100,000 have been forced to evacuate.

Parked in front of the property was what looked like a small VW-style van, but it had been burned to a crisp, leaving only the charred metal husk.

It's not clear if the remains of the interior had been swept out, or if the ashes of an entire home had simple blown away in the breeze, but there were hardly any signs that the rubble had once been a family home.

As she walked past the van, a corner of elegant, decorative brickwork could be seen still standing.

Off to the right side was a portion of concrete wall that had also withstood the blaze, though now there was nothing left to support it.

Crispy metal panels and rods appeared to be strewn about the ashes on the foundation.

The home was set against a small hill, which still had some trees, as the water content inside them can protect them from completely burning down.

A small brick wall marked a perimeter against the hill, though it wasn't clear if it had been part of the house's ground floor, of it it had been a wall surrounding the home.

As Jhené panned her camera farther to the right, she came upon a metal cage that was partially standing and attached to a brick wall, which house charred air-conditioning units. 

She didn't bother speaking on the video and simply let the terrible images do the talking. 

On Thursday, the singer and rapper had posted a video to her Instagram stories of the blaze engulfing her home as she escaped in the nick of time.

'My perfect little Pali dream,' she wrote over a clip of a raging inferno bursting through her front window. 'Sorry we couldn't save you. Thank you for the memories and thank God no one was inside.'

She added that she was 'praying' for other in her neighborhood and 'the whole wide world.' 

Jhené wrote in an Instagram post that her house had 'burned to the ground with all of our things inside.'

'Thankful we still have each other. Starting from scratch. My heart is so heavy,' she added.

Aiko is a mother to two children: sixteen-year-old daughter Namiko, whom she shares with the singer O'Ryan, and two-year-old son Noah, whom she shares with her partner, the rapper Big Sean.

So far, Big Sean doesn't appear to have publicly posted anything about LA's devastating fires or Aiko's home. 

Late last week, Jhené took mean commenters to task after they claimed that she could afford to replace her home while other people around Los Angeles were in worse situations.

She tried to remind people that she was neither a superstar nor a mega-rich celebrity. 

'The fact some of you think I have Paris Hilton money is wild,' she said, referencing the heiress and reality star who lost her Malibu beach home in the inferno.

Aiko continued, 'I don't got it like that but I do have a big, loving family that is worth more than anything.'

The fires across LA began last week in the tony Pacific Palisades neighborhood, before spreading north and west to Malibu and Calabasas.

A second fire later started further east in Altadena, which borders populous Pasadena.

Smaller fires started elsewhere across the city, including in the Hollywood Hills, though firefighters have had better luck at beating back those blazes quickly.
