What To Know
At the time of publication, Combs' house, located at 200 South Mapleton Drive, is not in the path of the fires ripping through Southern California.
Combs' 31-year-old son, Justin, reposted a list of local resources to his Instagram story on Friday. "Instead of only sending thoughts & prayers...Here's how to help victims of the LA fires," the original post by Latina Approved reads.
In March, the FBI conducted raids on Combs' mansions in LA and Miami as part of their investigation into his sex trafficking case. Helicopter footage showed Justin and Combs' other son, Christian "King" Combs, 26, in handcuffs near the LA residence during the operation.
According to an unsealed federal indictment, the raids uncovered firearms, ammunition, narcotics, and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant allegedly linked to sex events referred to as "Freak Offs."
