Beyoncé's family are the latest to be devastated by the horrific Los Angeles fires as multiple blazes continue to tear across the state. 

The Grammy winner's mother, Tina Knowles, took to Instagram on Thursday to share the loss of her Malibu home in the disaster and offered a message of support to all those facing the same fate. 

The 71-year-old posted a video of a beautiful sunset from her beachside home, with dolphins swimming in the water in front of her.
