Spencer Pratt asked fans to stream his wife Heidi Montag’s 2010 album, Superficial, to provide income for them after their home burned down.

After the former Hills stars lost their Pacific Palisades home in the ongoing Los Angeles flames, Pratt asked his fans to stream the project so they could earn money to begin rebuilding their lives.

Several of his loyal followers and fellow stars — including Flavor Flav and model Emily Ratajkowski — began streaming the album and making TikTok videos to some of Montag’s songs, reports Page Six.

Due to fans’ support, Montag’s album reached No. 1 on iTunes, beating out Bad Bunny’s newest project, Debí Tirar Más Fotos.

Pratt thanked fans for helping him and his wife reach this milestone amid their devastating loss.

“1 !!!!!!!!!!!!! @heidimontag !!!!!! Thank you everyone,” he captioned an Instagram video.

The 41-year-old former reality TV star also noted that he found the silver lining in their circumstance.

“Who needs a house, who needs clothes … who needs anything but this level of clout pop superstardom?” the dad of two shouted in the clip.

“Thank you everyone who made this happen! I don’t even care if it goes away in five minutes, I got this screenshot. I’m going to blow this up … I’m going to get it framed.”

Pratt told his followers that they have “no idea” how much their support means, as his wife is “so sad” their home was destroyed by the raging fires.

Paris Hilton even took to the comments of Pratt’s post about Montag’s album, expressing her support for the couple and their two kids, Gunner, 7, and Ryker, 2.

“Congrats @heidimontag,” the heiress — who also lost one of her homes in the fires — wrote.

“@parishilton love you legend !!! Please do a collab remix! Send us a verse,” Pratt replied to Hilton, 43, in the comments.

Montag, 38, took to her Instagram Story, gushing over the outpouring of support for her music as she continues to grieve the loss of her home.

“Thank you so much to everyone! Number one on iTunes charts thank you for the overwhelming love and support,” she said.

She also thanked everyone for “rallying” behind her family during the “devastating time,” noting that the support of her fans has made it “such a blessing.”

In addition to asking their fans to stream and purchase Montag’s music, Pratt has also taken to TikTok and asked his followers to watch his videos so that he could earn revenue.

“If possible can you go to the post before this and watch and like that video, ’cause I’ll get up to $1,100 from TikTok if it’s one of the top ten most-liked TikToks with that song,” he said in the clip.

Pratt later shared a video of himself shopping at Lazy Acres and shared that he no longer has a local Erewhon Market to shop at due to the fires.

However, he joked that it’s “still a blessing” to shop at the high-end grocery store despite no longer being able to have “Hailey Bieber smoothies” for a “long time.”
