Taylor Swift's heartwarming gesture to Zoe Kravitz as wildfires tore through LA

A huge A-lister has revealed how Taylor Swift helped them seek refuge after the LA wildfires. Zoe Kravitz and her mum, Lisa Bonet, were put up in Taylor's lavish $25 million period home in Beverly Hills in a bid to help them escape the fires which tore through parts of the West Coast state.

The fires have been estimated to be the costliest in history, with an estimated damage and economic losses of around $135 billion and $150 billion. The fires tore through over 12,000 structures, destroying around 40,000 acres of land.

But while the 36-year-old and her mum were staying at Taylor's stunning home, they ran into a huge issue, which led to them causing substantial amounts of damage to the property. Speaking on Late Night with Seth Myers, Zoe, 36, revealed she and Lisa were forced to call Taylor's house manager over the situation. It comes after Taylor Swift shared a huge update on her upcoming album.

"We ended up having to stay there for about two weeks," she said of her time staying at Taylor's home. She went on to add: "And Taylor has this beautiful house. It's from the '30s, something you want to preserve and take care of."

Zoe had told her mum, 57, to be a "good houseguest" and leave things "better than I found them." But when it came to leaving Taylor's home, they ran into a bit of trouble.

She recalled heading upstairs and finding Lisa "crouched in the corner in this weird way," behind the closed bathroom door. She said: "I'm like 'What's up dude?' and she's like 'So I was washing my face and I had Orpheus and I just put her down for a second. Closed the door and she found this little hole in the corner.'"

Orpheus is Lisa's pet snake, later revealing that there was a banquette built into the wall, alongside a small hole. She explained that Lisa was able to get hold of the slithery creature and they both attempted to pull Orpheus from the hole.

But things soon turned sour when the snake began to dig itself further into the wall, causing Zoe to "panic". She said she later managed to reach out to Taylor's house manager, who used a crowbar to "tear apart this banquet". Zoe recalled: "We're ripping up the tile. We're scratching the walls. I mean it's just like.." while explaining her mum had to hold the snake.

She continued: "Completely destroyed Taylor's bathroom and there was just this moment where I was like, 'Either we destroy her bathroom or I have to tell her that there's a snake somewhere in her house.'"

But while Zoe said she offered to pay for all the damages, she had asked the house manager not to mention the incident to Taylor until all the repairs were made. This, however, didn't go to plan, as Taylor phoned Zoe. She said: "I remember calling her saying, 'Hey, I wanted to talk to you about something.'

"And she was like, 'Is it the fact that you almost lost a snake in my house and destroyed my bathroom?'" She also hinted that Taylor's upcoming album will be called Orpheus, based on the incident. The pair have been extremely close for several years, with Taylor being on hand to offer support to Zoe following her split from Channing Tatum last November.

Meanwhile, Zoe branded Taylor's Era's Tour "crazy" and praised the star for being "scary talented." She said: "Taylor is scary talented at everything she does, so it's not surprising that she's so good.

"But what is weirder, actually, to me, is that after she performs for however many thousands of people, that is, you know, she just comes over after, and like, we drink some wine, and like, eat a burger, and like, hang out."
