Fashion designer Masaba Gupta recently turned to Instagram to seek financial support after her sister-in-law's home became one of the many destroyed in the recent devastating fires in Los Angeles.

Chinmaya Misra, Masaba's sister-in-law, was among those affected by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades. 

Masaba Gupta shared on Instagram, "My sister-in-law and her family have lost their home in the Pacific Palisades fire, just like many others."

To support her family, Masaba posted a message urging her followers to contribute to a fundraiser set up by her niece. 

The House of Masaba founder continued, "While they are safe, it has been a devastating past few days and my 16-year-old niece has started a fundraiser to help rebuild their lives in LA. If you are able to donate, it would help tremendously. If you are not - a prayer goes a long way too."

".. pls help the young lady out," he appealed.

Several well-known figures, including Mandy Moore, Paris Hilton, Milo Ventimiglia, Jeff Bridges, and Anna Faris, were among those who lost their homes in the devastating Los Angeles fires.

The wildfires, which began in Pacific Palisades before rapidly spreading to areas like Malibu and Santa Monica, left a trail of destruction across Southern California. 

Officials in Los Angeles described the fires as a "perfect storm," with hurricane-level winds reaching speeds of up to 100 miles per hour, making it impossible to deploy vital aircraft to drop water and fire retardants on the parched neighborhoods in time.
