Reality television star Spencer Pratt has launched a campaign for mayor of Los Angeles, vowing to "expose the system".
His longshot bid for city hall comes on the anniversary of a wildfire that destroyed his home and became one of California's most destructive blazes on record.
Pratt, 42, made the announcement while speaking at a "They Let Us Burn" rally organised by residents who lost houses in the Palisades Fire.
The protest marked a year since the fire ignited in the Pacific Palisades on 7 January 2025, tearing through the wealthy coastal community tucked between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
Another blaze, the Eaton Fire, sparked hours later on the other side of the city. In total, 31 people were killed and more than 16,000 homes and businesses were destroyed.
