Sarah Staudinger and her husband Ari Emanuel have lost their Pacific Palisades home due to the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires.
In a series of posts shared to her Instagram Stories Thursday, Jan. 9, the Staud founder, 35, revealed that the home she lived in with the chief executive of Endeavor, 63, had burned down.
“Thank you for the magical memories house,” Staudinger wrote in all caps over an Instagram Stories image of the sunset from her yard. The photo, which showed outdoor furniture and maintained landscaping, appeared to have been taken before wildfires ripped through the oceanside community.

“Thank you for keeping us safe for so long and watching us grow up. Thank you for being there until the very end,” she continued. “We will miss you.”
A second post showed a video of the couple’s backyard taken over by flames.
Staudinger ended by sharing a photo of her holding artwork found in the rubble once the home had been completely destroyed. In text written over the photo, she thanked those who were “still out there tirelessly fighting for us.”

According to a profile on Staudinger published by the New York Times in October 2022, the home was “freshly renovated.”
Staudinger and Emanuel married in May 2022 in Saint-Tropez, France. Their guest list included Emily Ratajkowski, Elon Musk, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Mark Wahlberg, Tyler Perry and Larry David.
Emanuel was the inspiration behind the character Ari Gold on Entourage, while Staudinger is a fashion designer and the goddaughter of Cher.
In her 2022 interview with the Times, Staudinger said she kept Polaroid photos of nearly everyone who visited their home.

“There’s a few people that I’ve missed, but I try to get everybody. Even people I don’t really know. This is one of my best friends,” she said, turning pages while looking at images. “That’s Alice, who helped with the wedding.”
“Here, we had just moved in, and it was the most random crew. P. Diddy just hands everybody a blunt,” she added, continuing to share fond moments in her Pacific Palisades home.
Dry vegetation and severe winds fueled the fires, which began Tuesday, Jan. 7 in the Palisades.
Since then, 19,978 acres have burned with hundreds of properties and businesses destroyed or damaged. As of Thursday night, the Palisades Fire was only 6% contained, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
Multiple other fires — such as the deadly Eaton Fire where at least 13,690 acres have burned — have also added to the already devastating ongoing situation.
