Devastated Mandy Moore takes refuge with A-list friend in Beverly Hills after losing family home in LA fires

Devastated Mandy Moore has turned to an A-list friend for help after losing her family home in the LA fires.

The This Is Us star, 40, her husband Taylor Goldsmith, 39, and their three children have taken refuge with Hilary Duff in her Beverly Hills mansion.

Duff and her husband Matthew Koma, both 37, have a full house on most days with their three kids plus Hilary’s son Luca, 12, but now they’ve got four adults and seven children under their roof.

Moore and her husband lost their home in the LA fires that ripped through Altadena last week. 

Taylor’s brother Griffin Goldsmith, who also lost his home in Altadena, revealed the news on Sunday in an Instagram post.

‘Our dear friends @matthewkoma and @hilaryduff thought it wise to set up a gofundme for us to help with everything moving forward,’ Griffin, 34, wrote. 

‘Not to mention they are currently housing my brother’s family. They’ve taken care of my entire family from the moment this began,’ he gushed.

‘I will never be able to thank them adequately. This is the kindest act any human could do for another. They are the most beautiful, selfless people we’ve ever known.’

Between the two sets of parents, there are seven kids 12 and under currently in Hilary’s house.

Mandy has Gus, three, Oscar, two, and Lou, three months while Hilary has Banks, six, Mae, three, and Townes, 20 months. Duff is also mom to son Luca, whom she shares with ex-husband Mike Comrie.

Mandy shared the news that her house had burned down on January 9, saying the ‘main part’ of the structure was still standing but it is ‘not livable.’

She also shared at that time that her brother-in-law Griffin, who is part of the rock band Dawes with his brother, and his wife Kit also lost their home. 

Kit is expecting the couple’s first child in a couple of weeks. 

Koma started the new Go Fund Me for Griffin and his wife and shared it on Instagram. 

‘My dearest friends Griff & Kit Goldsmith lost absolutely everything yesterday in the fires in Altadena. They’re expecting their first child in a few weeks and without a home or the most basic necessities, the days ahead feel unimaginable,’ Koma wrote.

‘Griff is one of my best friends in the world & a fellow musician who has spent 20+ years as a touring drummer in his band Dawes – all of his drums, studio gear…stuff he’s spent his whole life collecting to make a living, was also lost in the fire,’ he continued. 

‘As they turn their energy to insurance claims and figuring out how to quickly build a world for their baby to arrive in, so many friends have reached out to ask “how can we help Griff and Kit?”

‘I set this gofundme up as a way to allow a community they’ve contributed so much to, to help them through one of the hardest & most vulnerable times of their lives.’

He concluded: ‘I know a lot of people are in need and hurting right now – thinking of you all with an extremely heavy heart and I really appreciate you taking time to read this and helping in anyway you can.’

Last week, Mandy faced severe backlash for sharing this same Go Fund Me for Griffin and Kit on her social media.

But detractors barked up the wrong tree with Mandy on this subject and she bit back with all the furor of a woman who saw her own house burn as well as two family members houses burn.

Taylor and Griffin’s parents house was also lost in the Eaton fire.  

‘People questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money Google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic,’ Moore snapped.

'Our dear friends @matthewkoma and @hilaryduff thought it wise to set up a gofundme for us to help with everything moving forward,' Griffin, 34, wrote

‘Of course we are. Our buddy Matt started this go fund me and I’m sharing because people have asked how they can help them. We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF. No one is forcing you to do anything.’ 

Moore, who has an estimated net worth of $14 million, previously shared that her brother-in-law and sister-in-law ‘lost their home and everything they own’ just weeks before they welcome their first child. 

‘Griff is a touring musician and also lost his entire arsenal of drums/percussion he uses to make a living,’ Moore wrote on Instagram.

‘It’s all so much. So many have asked how to help during this unimaginable and stressful time…Please consider donating and sharing to help them rebuild.’

Many people left negative comments following Moore’s call for help, with many asking why the star couldn’t just ‘get them a new house.’
