Spencer Pratt had "the best life" in Pacific Palisades before the wildfires in 2025.

The 42-year-old reality TV star and his wife, Heidi Montag, lived in the neighbourhood in Los Angeles before the wildfires destroyed their family home, and Spencer has now reflected on his time in Pacific Palisades.

The Hills star - who is among the contenders to become the next mayor of Los Angeles - told Interview magazine: "My parents still call this their home.

"My whole life was here, so all my memories are here, but I don't have a single photo of my life before the iPhone 4. I don't have any mementos, yearbooks, photo albums, or home videos. All my memories are just in my brain now.

"I had the best life. I loved everything about this place, this neighbourhood. It was a real community, like something out of Pleasantville. You knew your neighbours.

"You could ride your bike into town, go to Mort's Deli, and get chicken noodle soup and a French dip. You played all your sports with everybody here. It was the best. It's over now."

Spencer recently claimed that he will leave Los Angeles if he isn't elected the city's new mayor.

The reality TV star vowed to pursue "the last American dream" in another US state if he isn't successful in his bid to become the city's next mayor.

He told comedian Adam Carolla: "If Karen Bass gets re-elected, or Nithya [Raman] gets elected, I will be done with trying to live in Los Angeles."

In 2025, Spencer and Heidi filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles and the Department of Water and Power (LADWP) after their home was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire.

Spencer is determined to win his legal case, but admits that he might look to rebuild his life in another state.

The TV star - who has been married to Heidi since 2008 - explained: "I'll take that money from the [Gov. Gavin] Newsom state park and the LADWP, and I'll go find somewhere that my kids will not have to see naked zombies and I can have the last American dream somewhere.

"I will not rebuild if these people are in charge. Because what would I be putting money into?"
