Former Vice President Kamala Harris is returning to her home in Los Angeles on Monday and plans to visit a local fire station to thank firefighters for their efforts in battling recent deadly wildfires. Harris, who resides with her husband in Brentwood—a neighborhood that experienced evacuations during the blazes—had initially expressed a desire to visit earlier. However, logistical challenges in her final days in office prevented the trip.
In addition to meeting with firefighters, Harris will join World Central Kitchen to distribute food to community members affected by the wildfires.
Her return to California coincides with speculation about her potential candidacy for governor in 2026. According to sources close to her, Harris intends to take time to focus on her personal affairs after two decades of uninterrupted public service.
Harris’ flight from Joint Base Andrews to California will be operated by an all-female U.S. Air Force crew aboard a C-32 aircraft. An aide noted that this marks the first time an all-female crew has piloted this type of aircraft for the U.S. Air Force.
On Friday, Shine My Crown reported on the close proximity to which Vice President Kamala Harris’ home is in danger due to the wildfires. A New York Times report revealed that in Brentwood, a wealthy neighborhood just a few miles east of the Palisades and home to many celebrities, has so far remained untouched. Even so, security was particularly tight on Tuesday afternoon at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Kenter Avenue, near the eastern edge of the evacuation zone, according to the report.
Journalists, who are typically allowed past such checkpoints, were turned away by National Guard officers and redirected to the next one. Meanwhile, Los Angeles Police Department officers, who often permit residents to briefly return home to collect essentials, informed people they would have to wait another day.
The heightened security led to speculation, as just a few blocks north of the checkpoint, within the evacuation zone, stands a four-bedroom house owned by Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff.
