‘I walk through our front door. You guys, I’m not an alarmist,’ Spelling said during the Friday, January 24, episode of her podcast. ‘I walked in and I gasped.
‘I thought while we were gone, out of town, evacuated, someone has broken into our home and has burglarized our home,’ she said, expressing concern.

‘There was s***— everywhere. I mean, it looked like people had come in and just trashed our house. Then upon closer inspection, I realized, oh s***, no, this is just the way I live.’
Tori explained that she and her five kids Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, seven, evacuated to an Airbnb in Camarillo, which is located north of Los Angeles.
And now she’s ready to do some purging and decluttering.
‘That’s when it really dawned on me that when all of this settles down, I know it’s just stuff. I’ve seen the devastation, the loss, friends, families, people displaced, people that have lost everything,’ Spelling continued.
‘When you’re lucky enough that you still have your home and you still have your things, it really put it into perspective that it’s like, God, I have so much stuff.’
The daughter of the late television mogul Aaron Spelling said she is ‘happy’ and ‘excited’ to donate some of her belongings to those who need it in the wake of the fires.
‘I’m really ready to do that — especially this all on the heels of me doing my hoarding episode — I really just haven’t had the time, but I’m ready to let go of stuff,’ Spelling explained.
‘Everybody around us in L.A., losing their stuff and needing stuff. Especially being back in town now, we can help donate all our stuff that we can get out and give it to the people who have lost stuff.’

Tori also clarified that she hadn’t been looted and that brought mixed emotions since so many people lost everything.
‘I looked around and all my stuff was still there,’ she said. ‘All our stuff was still there. It just was everywhere.’
On last week’s episode of her podcast, Tori talked about how chaotic it was evacuating and what she grabbed in the mere 30 minutes she had.
‘When we evacuated and fled, we just literally, we did the best we could, I would say, in 30 minutes or less,’ the star told her listeners.
‘In 30 minutes or less, we packed up six lives and three animals… I don’t know how we did it, honestly.’
Spelling admitted that once she was in her closet, she ‘froze’ and said, ‘Here’s me, self-professed hoarder my whole life, and…it could be gone. In the moment, I was like, “I don’t know what to take.”‘
She also swiftly took a seashell that was from her uncle, as well as crystals for ‘good energy’ and her contacts.
‘I’d rather my kids grab things they want than me,’ she said, and added that there was not enough space in the vehicle to put any suitcases.
‘I thought while we were gone, out of town, evacuated, someone has broken into our home and has burglarized our home,’ she said, expressing concern
‘There have been looters here. Look at the state of the house,’ she said.
‘There was s***— everywhere. I mean, it looked like people had come in and just trashed our house. Then upon closer inspection, I realized, oh s***, no, this is just the way I live’
‘Who cares about me? … I looked down at my Louboutins and my Balenciaga shoes, and I said, “What does it matter?”‘
Spelling also grabbed pet food, water and family photos before heading to the car which was ‘stuffed’ full and small arguments ‘started breaking out.’
‘I said, “Listen, everyone has a different way of handling things and what’s important to them. If we can get it in the car, let’s get it in the car,’ she continued.
‘We packed everyone in. Everyone was saying, “I can’t move. I can’t breathe.” And my daughter said, “Mom, you’re not gonna be able to see out the back.”‘
Tori shared that she took a DIY Los Angeles shirt that she was already wearing and a 1985 jacket from her private elementary school.
‘I mean, I don’t even know how we got ourselves packed into that car. It was like Tetris on the next level — and not in a good way. It was just jammed in,’ the actress recalled.
As Tori and her family left their home, she remembers ‘driving right into the fire’ while heading to an Airbnb.
‘I looked and we could see the fire. And all of a sudden, smoke was coming through the vents, and I said to the kids, “Everyone grab a t-shirt.”‘
Tori explained that she and her five kids Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, seven, evacuated to an Airbnb in Camarillo, which is located north of Los Angeles
‘And I said, “Put it over your mouth, hold your breath, and we’re driving right through it.” And they were panicked,’ Tori added of the frightening moment.
‘As we were literally driving on the freeway, my kids covering their faces with T-shirts and holding their breath, I couldn’t help but think like, “God. I’ve seen this movie.”‘
The actress continued, ‘But we drove through. We drove past it. The kids were able to breathe again.’
