Brittany Cartwright used her birthday party as a fundraiser following the LA wildfires
The 'Vanderpump Rules' star admitted that she had a "tough" time last year after splitting from her husband Jax Taylor but decided to use the celebrations for her 36th birthday on Saturday (25.01.25) to help the American Red Cross Fire Relief following the Pacific Palisades disaster

She told UsWeekly: "It's no secret that the past year has been incredibly tough for me.
"I feel like I'm starting my 36th year almost as a new me in a way, and so I decided to throw myself a little birthday celebration with some of my closest friends .
"I had asked everyone coming tonight to make a donation in honor of the Los Angeles wildfires instead of bringing a gift.
"So all the funds we raise this evening will go towards the American Red Cross Fire Relief. I also have another really exciting initiative I'm working on to raise funds for the people affected by the fires here in L.A. that will be announced soon."
The Los Angeles wildfires started on January 27, and have so far destroyed some 12,000 homes and at least 28 people are thought to have died.
Several celebrities have lost their homes in the fire, including heiress Paris Hilton and reality stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.
John Goodman - who is known for his roles in 'The Flintstones' and 'Roseanne' - has also seen his home destroyed in the wildfires as his Pacific Palisades property was in the path of the main blaze.
Sir Anthony Hopkins' home is also gone, according to pictures, whilst 'Top Gun: Maverick' star Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh also saw their $7.5million mansion, which they bought in April 2023, wiped out.
Nothing remains of Billy Crystal's sprawling home beyond his tennis courts - which were virtually unmarked despite his house lying in ruins beside the green grounds.
