Jhené Aiko Sees Burnt Remains of Her Home for the First Time Since L.A. Fires: 'You Must Cry About It'
Jhené Aiko returned home to a devastating sight on Wednesday, May 7.
Aiko, 37, documented the experience of returning to the devastation of losing her home to the Pacific Palisades Fire in January, posting a series of photos of the burnt remains of her home on Instagram.
In one slide, the "stranger" singer wrote, "finally saw it for myself...3 months later." The following slide read, "sometimes a sigh is not gotta scream 'F------------!!!' at the top of your lungs."
The photos showed several burned vehicles and a few surviving Buddha statues in the garden area. The vegetation on the property was charred and the remaining infrastructure was in ruins.
In the final slide, Aiko offered words of support for those also affected by the wildfires. "idk who needs to hear this, but you absolutely MUST cry about often as the feeling comes," she wrote.
The mom of two revealed she had lost her home in the wildfires in a post on Instagram on Jan. 9. The R&B singer confirmed that she and her son Noah Hasani, 2 — whom she shares with partner Big Sean — and daughter Namiko Love, 16, were safe, but that their home was "gone".
"burned to the ground with all of our things inside. Lord have mercy 🙏 Thankful we still have eachother 💙 starting from scratch. My heart is so heavy 💔," the seven-time Grammy nominee wrote at the time.

In January, weeks after the fire, Sean, 36, opened up about supporting Aiko through a miscarriage.
On an episode of On Purpose With Jay Shetty, the rapper noted that "every situation is difficult" and shared, "so to someone who is experiencing miscarriages, and I can only speak from a man's perspective, I can't speak for a woman, their perspective is the most traumatic, but I can say that, first of all, you're worthy. I don't want you to think you're not worthy."
He continued at the time, "I don't want people to think that because they have a miscarriage that they're inadequate or that they're broken." Aiko and Sean have been linked since their collaboration Twenty88 in 2016.
Aiko is among countless celebrities to lose a home to the deadly Pacific Palisades fire. Zooey and Emily Deschanel returned to the site of their childhood home in January to find it in ruins. 'It was not a mansion but it was cozy and lovely and unique and perfect to me," the New Girl star, 45, wrote in an Instagram post at the time.
30 were killed across Los Angeles between the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire. The Palisades Fire burned 36.5 square miles and an estimated 6,800 structures, per the Los Angeles Times.
