Mother's Day footage from Spencer Pratt showed his family returning for the first time to the Malibu property destroyed in last year's LA fires, with wife Heidi Montag calling it their children's first visit to the wreckage.
Pratt framed the video as a tribute to Montag after the loss of their home, saying "no mom should ever have to go through" what she endured and ending the post with the couple embracing on the burned site.
Gunner, 8, and Ryker, 3, appeared in the video, and fan reactions quickly tied the emotional post to Pratt's mayoral run, praising the family and urging support for his campaign.
Pratt launched his Los Angeles mayoral bid in January on homelessness, public safety and spending, and recent donations, endorsements and a widely praised debate performance have helped turn the former reality TV star into a top challenger to Karen Bass.
