Paris Hilton has cleared out her closet and sold off some of her "iconic pre-loved pieces" to raise funds for charity. The 43-year-old hotel heiress, who lost her Malibu home in the California wildfires last month, teamed up with online shopping platform Vestiaire Collective to sell nearly 100 items from her wardrobe. The proceeds will be distributed to those impacted by the disaster through her 11.11media Impact organization.

In a statement released via CNN, Paris explained: "This sale will support my charity's work around relief efforts for the devastating LA fires and our ongoing mission to protect vulnerable youth from child abuse and bring hope to those in need. I can't think of a better way to combine my greatest passions, fashion and charity, than with a closet sale."

She also shared her thoughts on Instagram: "Go shopping in my closet for a good cause. Selling some iconic pre-loved pieces on @vestiaireco. Net proceeds will go to my charity @11.11media Impact."

Paris admitted she had been left feeling "heartbroken and devastated" after losing her home in the wildfires but vowed to help "build back" and support others in need. She reflected, saying, “It’s so heartbreaking, just all the sentimental things that we had in there and all the special memories. But I'm just doing whatever I can to help support and help build L.A. back.”

One of her items, a purple Juicy Couture tracksuit, sold out less than a day after the sale launched. Paris also acknowledged the community spirit surrounding the crisis, stating, "I think it's amazing how everyone is coming together and really supporting each other. I think that’s really been the silver lining in all of this, to see the communities all coming together and helping each other out."
