Billionaire Hoang Kieu updates the situation of 7 houses in the US after the forest fire tragedy

The Los Angeles wildfire that began on January 7 is considered the most serious wildfire in California history, with estimated damage ranging from $52 to $57 billion. Billionaire Hoang Kieu currently lives and owns many properties here.

Therefore, many friends and netizens expressed their concern and asked about his situation when this area was greatly affected by the forest fire disaster.

Recently, the Vietnamese billionaire announced his condition on his personal page. He shared: "Thanks to God, Hoang Kieu and his family of 7 houses and Hummingbird are safe. Sincerely thank friends and loving fans who thought of Hoang Kieu and sent their condolences!".

The wildfire, which was likened to the “doomsday,” burned down many homes of famous Hollywood stars. California is also a state with a large Vietnamese population. Therefore, in addition to billionaire Hoang Kieu, the lives of a number of Vbiz singers and actors residing in California were also affected by air pollution, smoke, and dust from the fire.

Singer Chau Tuan lives in Santa Ana, about 55 km southeast of downtown Los Angeles. The male singer shared with Ngoi Sao that a few days ago, when the fire broke out, he was extremely worried because strong winds could spread the fire towards his house. Then the wind changed direction but the whole city was suffocating because of air pollution.

About an hour's drive from the fire, the family of actress Baggio - Quynh Tram is facing a similar situation. Meanwhile, runner-up Truc Diem, although in Vietnam, is still worried because the apartment she rents is located in the Hollywood Hills area, which is subject to evacuation. The beauty said she has been constantly updated on the situation from her housemates but has not received any information.

According to AccuWeather, the economic damage and loss from this wildfire is estimated at $52 billion to $57 billion. However, if the fire spreads to densely populated areas, this number may have to be adjusted upward.

"If large numbers of structures continue to burn in the coming days, this could become the worst wildfire in modern California history in terms of structure loss and economic damage," said AccuWeather meteorologist Jonathan Porter.

AccuWeather previously estimated the total cost of the 2023 Maui wildfires to be between $13 billion and $16 billion, putting the scale of the damage in Los Angeles far beyond recent disasters.

A report from brokerage firm JP Morgan predicts insured losses from the fire could be around $10 billion, with the bulk of it related to home insurance and a smaller portion to commercial properties.

In addition, more than 456,000 homes worth nearly $300 billion are in moderate or high-risk wildfire zones in the Los Angeles and Riverside metropolitan areas, according to CoreLogic, a real estate consulting firm. This is a warning that the level of damage may continue to increase.

Right at this year's CES exhibition, there were technologies introduced with the function of predicting forest fire disasters early so that localities can take early preventive measures.

"Our MyRadar app has been downloaded over 50 million times. Not only do we have the ability to map fires, but we also use satellite imagery to show users areas where fires are likely to occur. This gives people a better idea of where fires are moving. We are also planning to launch a constellation of mini-satellites, literally so small you can hold them in the palm of your hand. These satellites will help detect wildfires on the surface using built-in artificial intelligence," said Mike Linden, founder of MyRadar.

The fires are now spreading to some of the most expensive real estate in the United States, from Santa Monica to Malibu, with homes valued at more than $2 million. If the fires continue to spread to more densely populated areas, thousands of expensive homes could be lost and the total economic cost could be even higher than currently estimated.
