Albany [New York], January 25: U.S. reality TV couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are suing the city of Los Angeles after losing their Pacific Palisades home in the wildfires that have torn through Southern California in recent weeks.
The couple, who rose to stardom on "The Hills," a spin-off of "Laguna Beach," filed the lawsuit on Tuesday along with more than 20 other property owners and residents who were affected by the Palisades Fire, according to The Associated Press.
The complaint blamed Los Angeles and its municipal water department for the water issues that hampered firefighting efforts and said it ultimately led to the damage to their properties.
The Eaton and Palisades fires, ignited by strong winds during one of the region's driest years on record, have killed 28 people and destroyed more than 12,000 structures, putting them among the most destructive fires in California history.
