Saioa, 33, stated that the family, including their two children, are safe, as reported by Need To Know.
She added that they are still in “shock” from the horrific situation.
“Our beautiful Malibu home burned down yesterday,” she said.
“We are still in shock with everything that’s happening.
“It’s very sad and scary to see everything burning.
“To all the messages of concern that are being sent to us, we are safe.
“Sending much love to all those affected and hopefully they will soon manage to put out the fire.”
The footballer’s home burned down on 8 January.
California was struck by a deadly wildfire the day earlier on 7 January, which was fuelled by powerful winds.
Despite the winds dropping on Thursday, the National Weather Service warned that even reduced gusts could still spread the fire rapidly, according to AP News.
There are multiple major fires including the Palisades Fire, the Eaton Fire north of Pasadena, and the Sunset Fire in the Hollywood Hills.
Authorities have confirmed that at least 10 people have died so far.
Evacuation orders have been issued affecting almost 180,000 residents across the county.
