Adrian Smith is among tens of thousands affected by the wildfires currently bringing destruction to Los Angeles

Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith has lost a home to the destructive wildfires currently raging across Los Angeles. The news was confirmed in an Instagram post by Smith’s wife, Natalie Dufresne-Smith, who wrote, “We are safe. We have each other. We will start again. Thank you for your support during these trying times.”

Last week, Dufresne-Smith shared photos of smoke approaching the couple’s property in Malibu, just north of Pacific Palisades, where wildfires have now destroyed an estimated 12,000 properties.

“We are safe, our neighbour finally left and is safe…. The neighbourhood?”, wrote Dufresne-Smith. “Look, I mean, this [the smoke] is definitely coming towards us… Now we have to go. It’s just spread up here in the last few seconds. It’s time to go.”
