Heidi Montag hits No. 1 on iTunes after losing home in LA fires

Heidi Montag hit #1 on the iTunes chart after she and her husband Spencer Pratt lost their home in the Palisades fire last week.

Montag, who rose to fame on the popular reality series "The Hills," rose on the charts after Pratt encouraged fans of the couple to stream her 2010 album "Superficial" if they wanted to offer support to them in the aftermath of the LA wildfires.

A series of wildfires, fueled by severe drought conditions and strong Santa Ana winds, continue to burn through Los Angeles. It has claimed the lives of at least 24 people so far. The Palisades Fire, which burned Pratt and Montag's home, has destroyed about 5,000 structures, covering more than 23,000 acres.
