Celebrities Who Lost Homes to Nature: Who Lost Most?
Mother Nature is the great equalizer: she doesn't care who you are or how much money you have. If you're in her path, watch out!
Just ask Skid Row front man Sebastian Bach, whose New Jersey home was recently destroyed by Hurricane Irene. He told his Facebook fans:
"I am numb, in shock, & devastated to report that my home of 21 years, my house featured on MTV Cribs, has been destroyed, condemned, & deemed uninhabitable due to the extreme flooding courtesy of Hurricane Irene."
But he's not the only star who's faced the wrath of Mother Nature. From Richard Branson to Suzanne Somers, celebrities have learned that money and fame can't protect you from natural disaster.

These are nothing compared to those who can't afford it.
but I know someone important to me who lost his house on a wildfire while he's on a trip with his brother... he lost everything... even he's precious dog that grew up with him since he was little...
A flood is okay but a fire is really a scary thing...
And not being heartless, they can afford to replace and renew, unlike many who can't. Yes it's heartbreaking to lose your home and memories to this but they still have somewhere they can go... somehow i doubt they will be in a homeless shelter...let alone laying on a family members/friend's sofa for a few nights.
Why wasn't former NFL star Andre Rison included on this list of famous people who lost their homes to disaster? Of course, Rison's "disaster" came via his girlfriend, TLC's Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes, who burned his $2 million estate to the ground after he didn't come home until 6:30 AM after a night out with "the boys." She also destroyed three of his luxury automobiles by taking a few swings at them with a Louisville Slugger. Yowzer. A woman scorned...
That prize would have to go to the late, great Roberto Clemente. Too bad he wasn't an option.
Also, the one fire which was a product of arson doesn't belong in the list >.> Sure, that sucks, but it's about natural disasters.
Chesney - country singer
Gibb - singer for the Bee Gees (they were big in the '80s)
Petty - singer/songwriter. I've never heard of him either but apparently he's sold 60 million albums
Lilly - she was on 'Lost'
