Video Los Angeles mayor race heats up as Spencer Pratt runs for office after wildfire devastation LA mayor candidate Spencer Pratt gains traction after his Mother's Day video shows his burned-out home. Activist Samantha Ettus, who also lost her home in the Palisades fires, discusses why she backs Pratt, criticizing incumbent Mayor Karen Bass.
Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt shared a heartbreaking Mother’s Day tribute to his wife, Heidi Montag, by posting a video that features the devastating aftermath of the LA fires.
On Sunday, the former reality TV star—whose family lost their Malibu home in last year’s fires—shared footage of the wreckage, offering fans an intimate look at their children’s first visit to what remained of their past.
"Heidi and I have been through hell together," Pratt said in the video. "No mom should ever have to go through what she's gone through."
"This is the first time the kids have been here," an emotional Montag said. "I think that they're trying to have a good attitude, but I did see Gunner almost crying up there, but they're so happy to be home too. " The couple share two sons; Gunner, 8, and Ryker, 3.

The video concluded with the couple embracing each other on the land where their home once stood. Pratt captioned the video by writing, "mother's day is every day."

"Great Moms are worth the fight," one fan wrote on X. "They are raising future men who will build families, communities and unstoppable nations. This was truly beautiful and heartbreaking. I know what it’s like to lose your home; your roots. It gets better because those little men have incredible parents. God bless you and your beautiful family."
"My momma heart broke when that baby said he’s not ok but he’s gonna be because he has wonderful parents setting the best example of taking care of each other when times are hard," another wrote. "If you don’t vote for Spencer Pratt what do you even stand for? This is what being an American looks like."
