Vanderpump Rules alum Lala Kent evacuated Los Angeles with her daughters amid the recent wildfires.
“This morning, Sosa woke up and was really struggling to breathe. I made the decision to pack my family up and come to Palm Springs, strictly based on the air quality,” Kent, 34, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Thursday, January 9. “This is where we will stay until L.A. is safe again.”
Kent is primarily based in Los Angeles with daughters Ocean, 3, and Sosa, 4 months.
Wildfires in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood broke out on Tuesday, January 7, quickly devastating many buildings. Many celebrities lost their homes in the natural disaster as others sought refuge outside the city limits following evacuation orders.

Monica Schipper/Getty Images Vanderpump Rules’ Lala Kent is loving life as the mother of two. “Two weeks ago, on September 3rd, I welcomed my second baby girl, Sosa Kent. I’ve been open about my dream of this moment — at 10:13pm the moment came true,” Kent wrote via Instagram in September 2024. “My little dream […]
“This is one of the most devastating situations I have ever seen,” Kent added on Thursday. “At this point, if you were not directly affected, you know someone who has lost everything. I’m obsessing over how we could be so underprepared. My heart is shattered for my community. Neighborhoods that people have called home for decades, now nonexistent. It is unimaginable.”
According to Kent, she has “not been directly affected” and is trying to “feel grateful for that.”
“It’s hard because of what I’m seeing other people go through,” the Bravo star wrote. “In times like this, all you want is to go home for comfort and 1,000s of people don’t have their safe place anymore. There are looters, lack of water and lack of preparation. I’m sad, but I’m angry.”
While Kent vowed to “save that rant for a later date,” she did express her gratitude for first responders.
“For now, all I want to do is say thank you to our firefighters and first responders. Our city’s heroes,” Kent concluded on Thursday. “And to everyone affected — I know you feel alone. You are not alone.”
Kent shares Ocean with ex-fiancé Randall Emmett and gave birth to Sosa in September 2024. After utilizing a sperm donor to conceive her second child, Kent underwent intrauterine insemination (IUI).

“The outside world is funny. Not everybody is as progressive as we are, and I just felt like, ‘OK, I’m bringing this baby into the world because I so badly want it to be here. But I also want to eliminate as many questions as I possibly can,’” Kent said on a March 2024 episode of her “Give Them Lala” podcast. “[I wanted her to] have this same aesthetic look as me, my mom, Ocean. The world is already tough when you come from a totally normal family. I don’t want to make it any tougher for them.”
