Heidi Montag is overwhelmed by her fans’ support after they helped her top the music charts following the loss of her home in the Pacific Palisades wildfire.
“Thank you so much to everyone. No. 1 on iTunes chart, oh my gosh,” Montag, 38, shared via an Instagram Stories video on Saturday, January 11. “Thank you for the overwhelming love and support of my music and really rallying behind us in this devastating time and making it such a blessing.”
Montag and her husband and fellow The Hills alum Spencer Pratt shared news that their home burned down in the wildfire on Tuesday, January 7. Since then, the couple have continued to post updates and plead with fans to support them financially amid their devastating loss.
As of Sunday, Montag’s album Superficial, which was originally released on January 11, 2010, topped the iTunes albums chart ahead of the likes of Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS and the Wicked movie soundtrack.
The titular song off the album also charted No. 1 ahead of “APT.” by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars, “Are You Even Real” by Teddy Swims and GIVĒON, “Die With a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, “Smile” by Morgan Wallen and “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey. Her song “I’ll Do It” also landed at No. 7.
“Thank you for helping support us, helping build us back up, helping to encourage us, give us that hope and faith and excitement in such a dark, dark time,” Montag continued in her video post. “No. 1, ahhh! Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it. And it’s the 15th anniversary of Superficial. So, the timing is just crazy. It’s so crazy, thank you…”
Celebrities including Paris Hilton and Jhené Aiko, who lost their homes in the wildfires as well, supported Montag on Pratt’s celebratory Instagram post. “🥳Congrats @heidimontag 👏,” Hilton, 43, commented, with Aiko, 36, adding, “Love this!!!!!!! 🫂💙🥰 @heidimontag !!!”
Model Emily Ratajkowski also cheered on Montag by sharing a TikTok video of herself listening to the reality star’s “I’ll Do It.”
“Didn’t expect this Heidi Montag song to be the soundtrack to the 2025 apocalypse but you know what f*** yeah,” she wrote over the clip.

Pratt, 41, and Montag have had no qualms about asking for help after losing their home and belongings this week. In a video shared via TikTok on Friday, Pratt asked his followers to watch and like a previous video shared to his account, which featured the song “What It Feels Like” by Aly & AJ.
“I’ll get up to $1,100 from TikTok if it’s one of the top 10 most liked TikToks with that song, so more likely $200 it says, but it can go up to $1,100,” Pratt explained in the video. “So, if you’re bored, please go like that last video. It’s a great song actually and Aly & AJ wear Pratt Daddy Crystals — my friend Amber goes to all their shows and gives them all crystals so it’s kind of an authentic promo since they wear my crystals. I also want to get that $1,100.”
After receiving some backlash in the comments, Pratt shared on Friday, “Some demonic monster just wrote on my IG and tagged me, ‘Of course Spencer’s gonna milk his burned down house for every dollar it’s worth.’ Duh. Duh. That’s right. Let me figure out every dollar I can get.”
He continued: “How do you people not have brains? Are you just the stupidest living creatures? Of course I’m trying to get money to pay for my life with my family because our house and all of our possessions burned down. And if I can do it on social media, which I’ve been making the only money I’ve made for years now continuously, showing my journey of our house burning down and all of our possessions, do you not think I’m going to keep milking it for every dollar?”
Heidi Montag is doing her best to “focus on the gratitude” after a fire destroyed her family’s Los Angeles home. Montag and husband Spencer Pratt lost their property as a blaze spread throughout the Pacific Palisades on Tuesday, January 7. The couple and their sons, Gunner, 6, and Ryker, 13 months, safely evacuated earlier that […]
Pratt and Montag, who have been married since 2008 and share sons Gunner, 6, and Ryker, 13 months, also hoped fans would support them by choosing not to re-watch episodes of The Hills.
“Pretty much I’d rather you watch anything in the world but The Hills. Do not give that show a single dollar, or that narrator a single brain cell listening to her voice,” Pratt said in a video shared via TikTok, referring to Lauren Conrad. “No, there’s no residuals. So, pretty much, I’d rather have you watch paint dry, tag me in [you] staring at a wall — that would help my life more. Do not waste your energy watching The Hills thinking that helps our lives.”
As for a reality TV future, Pratt shared a possible new opportunity with Hulu amid his family’s heartbreaking situation. He asked fans to “spam” all of Hulu’s accounts so their social team could tell the network executives in an alleged meeting on Monday, “You better give Spencer and Heidi a new reality docuseries about rebuilding their lives and their house out of the rubble.”
