Heidi Montag reveals what she regrets leaving behind as she evacuated LA fire that destroyed her home

Heidi Montag revealed what she took and what she regrets leaving behind while evacuating the Los Angeles wildfires.

On Wednesday, the reality TV personality, 38, shared what she packed when she and her family had to flee from the blaze burning through the Pacific Palisades that destroyed her home. 

‘I didn’t know what to do,’ the star, who responded to the backlash she and her family received for getting donations after losing their house, told Us Weekly. 

‘Nothing could have prepared me for that,’ she continued. ‘You just can’t wrap your head around it. I started just packing things that made sense — I wasn’t thinking about anything else.’ 

The Hills alum — who shares sons Gunner, seven, and Ryker, two, with her husband Spencer Pratt — said that she prioritized packing up ‘the kids’ stuff.’ 

‘So I got their teddy bears,’ she recalled. ‘I randomly had, from the tooth fairy, Gunner’s teeth that he left in my closet, so I grabbed that.

‘I grabbed a few documents that we had — those pre-packed [ones] from years ago from the [previous] fires,’ she added.

‘I grabbed two pairs of jeans and two shirts. I grabbed a pair of shoes — a random pair of sneakers.’

Because they were in a frantic rush to evacuate, they had to leave many other important and beloved belongings behind. 

Pratt, 41, said one of them was a special Christmas present he convinced his wife to purchase for herself. 

‘She got herself nothing. Then, right before Christmas, she got herself these Golden Goose shoes in the Palisade Village. It was her big gift. I was like, “Just get your Golden Goose.” She didn’t.’

Montag said that she left them behind because she thought she would ‘be back for them.’ 

‘It hit me at the end of packing that I might not come back,’ she explained. ‘I was like, “Oh my gosh, I need to go to the kids’ room and I need to grab their bears. And I had Gunner, he had a 104 fever — he had that for days — and I was just so preoccupied with him.’

She explained she was ‘just grabbing things and worrying and aimlessly wondering.’

Montag continued: ‘[It’s] just the daily routine you miss — waking up in your bed with your mirrors and your pillows and the smells of your house and the children. It’s so hard.’

Pratt’s sister revealed that the couple lost their home when the wildfires erupted and started spreading across Los Angeles on January 7 with a heartbreaking Instagram post.
