“Sadly an accidental fire broke out in my trailer on the set of my music video today,” Hilton wrote on her Instagram Story. “As heartbreaking as it is, l’m so thankful everyone is safe and I’m incredibly grateful for the amazing support I have around me.”
The “Stars Are Blind” singer’s post included a shout-out to her team, including video director Hannah Lux Davis, as well as Heidi Klum, Meghan Trainor and Lance Bass.
Hilton shared a second post with a photo containing some of her charred belongings from the video shoot. “Not how I expected my music video shoot for ‘Bad B—- Academy’ to go,” she captioned the image.
The pioneering influencer posted another video “assessing the damages” from the fire. “Here’s hoping Day 2 of filming ‘Bad B—- Academy” is a little less lit,” she captioned the clip, adding a laughing face emoji. “Clearly this InfiniteIcon era is hot.”
Hilton’s upcoming album, Infinite Icon, is scheduled for release during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 6. The upcoming release, executive produced by Sia, marks the entertainment icon’s first full-length since her 2006 debut, Paris, which spawned her biggest hit to date “Stars Are Blind.” The track reached No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Hilton recently collaborated with Meghan Trainor on the song “Chasin’.” Paris gushed about the “All About That Bass” singer in an interview with Billboard.
“One of my favorite features is with Meghan Trainor. She’s just so sweet and amazing,” she said. “We met years ago during New York Fashion Week. She just came up to me, like, ‘I’m the third Hilton sister.’ Then I immediately just loved her so much and we became best friends.”
