Miles Teller, along with Leighton Meester and her spouse Adam Brody, were among the prominent figures who lost their residences to the devastating wildfire that swept through Pacific Palisades last January.

Teller’s $7.5 million home in Pacific Palisades, where he lived with his 33-year-old wife, Keleigh Sperry, was completely destroyed in the blaze.

The mansion belonging to the 38-year-old “Top Gun” actor was left in ruins, similar to many other homes in their picturesque neighborhood.

Brody and Meester’s $6.5 million residence in the star-studded area was also reduced to charred remains.

Now, a year after the catastrophe, there is little visible recovery at either site. The once vibrant community of Pacific Palisades remains largely flattened, with numerous properties still marked by bare foundations or empty plots.

Recent photos taken on Tuesday, January 6, show that Teller’s property has been cleared of debris, yet the foundation still bears the scars of the fire.

Miles Teller, 38, Leighton Meester, 39, and her husband Adam Brody, 46, were among many A-list stars who lost their homes in the Pacific Palisades wildfire last January

The foundation appeared more intact than before, though it’s unclear if that was simply due to the debris being cleared or if any rebuilding work had begun. 

Images of the home belonging to Brody, 46, and Meester, 39, revealed a similar scenario, with just a foundation now visible.

Teller and his wife bought their 6,600 square foot Cape Cod–style villa in April 2023, and it was located between the Palisades Bluffs and Palisades Village.

They paid $7.5 million for the home that was built in 2015 and had three stories with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms.

Last year, his wife Keleigh uploaded devastating before-and-after photos of their house.

‘Snapped this driving out,’ the actress wrote on social media on one image.

The photo was a final look at their house, with an ominous plume of dark smoke behind it.

A couple of cars were left parked in the driveway as the pair made a hasty exit from the neighborhood where they had lived since 2023.

While discussing the devastating experience last year, Teller revealed that he and his wife ‘grabbed very little’ of their belongings; They are seen in 2025

While discussing the devastating experience on an episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Teller revealed that he and his wife ‘grabbed very little’ of their belongings before their home was reduced to ashes.

‘We never thought that it was going to come where we were. It’s very residential,’ he explained.

‘We weren’t surrounded by any brush or anything. It truly is just all, it’s a neighborhood. So many families and family-owned businesses.’

He said that they received a mandatory evacuation order two hours after they first saw the fire from their window.

‘We were watching it on TV as it’s happening and people are abandoning cars. At that point people were already grabbing their kids and running down the street. It was pretty chaotic,’ he shared.

Among the few things Teller grabbed was his late grandfather’s watch. His grandfather had passed away just a couple of weeks before.

And on Christmas, Teller brought his wife to tears with a sentimental gift. He had her wedding dress recreated after it was destroyed in the fire.

The model said she was so moved by the gesture that she ‘almost passed out’ and ‘had to sit.’
