Camille Grammer surveyed her burned down Malibu mansion as Denise Richards felt lucky that her beachside home was spared on Tuesday's episode of RHOBH.

The widespread devastation of the Woolsey Fire in November 2018 was shown as Denise, 48, and new husband Aaron Phypers, 46, returned home after quickly evacuating from the wildfire. 

'Oh my god, look at all that. Look at all this is black,' Denise said staring out at the hills, half-covering her eyes while Aaron drove.

'I don't know how they got those fires out,' added Denise, sitting in front of a pile of clothes and food, her hair in disarray. 'Look at how fast they've moved.'

'I cannot believe how much f***ing burned,' her husband agreed. 'We are so lucky we got out.'

In a confessional, Denise recounted the horror of the past week.

'The fear of trying to get out of Malibu. No one knows unless they were sitting there,' she recalled. 'The fire was coming so fast, and I've never been in that situation where I felt so trapped. And couldn't get out.'

In the car, she sighed and rubbed her eyes as they passed ruined homes charred to their frames. 

'I don't think we're going to be living back here very soon,' she told Aaron. 'Our beautiful community—'

'Reduced to rubble,' Aaron finished for her.

Major damage: Hundreds of home in Malibu were destroyed or damaged in Malibu on both sides of Pacific Coast Highway

Rubble town: Aaron told Denise that their community had been reduced to rubble

The couple arrived home to find their place largely intact, but full of smoke and soot. 

They weeded through their possessions, tossing many items.

'We're so lucky,' Denise said to Aaron as she looked out from a balcony. 'This whole street would have burned down if one house caught on fire.'

Camille, 50, meanwhile walked through her mansion that was utterly destroyed with red caution tape stretched across rooms.

Embers from a nearby fire caught the eaves of her house, she said, and firemen fought for more than four hours to save it.

'Looks like some horror movie,' Camille noted, wearing a face mask as she walked through rooms with daughter Mason, 17.

Thorough damage: The upper floor of Camille's home was destroyed by the wildfire

Teenage daughter: Camille's daughter Mason, 17, joined her mother as they walked through what remained of their home

To cameras, she explained the personal impact.

'This was the first house after my divorce [from Frasier star Kelsey Grammer, 64] that was my house, that was all mine,' she pointed out.

'And now that's taken from me. It's devastating.'

All gone: The fire gutted the interior of the mansion with red caution tape blocking rooms

The disaster was in stark contrast to the group trip to Europe where Kyle Richards, 50, and Lisa Rinna, 55, at a chapel said a prayer for those in Los Angeles affected by the wildfires.

The women specifically lit candles for castmates Camille and Denise.

'All we can do is say a prayer,' Rinna admitted. 'It makes me feel connected, and to honor what's going on back at home.'

Prayer time: Lisa Rinna and Kyle Richards while visiting a chapel in France prayed for those affected in Los Angeles by the wildfire, including Camille and Denise

Drunken chaos reigned at Chateaux Ventoux as the vacationing cast squabbled and cried during one of their last nights in France.

'If you had asked me what this day was going to be like, I never would have been able to say it would be the highs of a helicopter ride to the lows of a drunk despair,' Lisa said.

The day started amicably enough, with the group gathered at the breakfast table, ready for a trip to Château Edem in Luberon for a day of wine tasting.

Weird day: The day that ranged from a fun helicopter ride to drunken despair caught Lisa by surprise

There was just one sour note: the presence of Erika Girardi, 47, who was suffering from a migraine headache and a bad mood after pals Kyle and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyo, 37, had ganged up on her the night before.

'I have a vicious migraine brought on by the lack of sleep and b****es that want you to be offended by something you're not offended by,' she complained in a confessional.

The previous evening, her pals had poked at her relentlessly, trying to get her to admit she was upset by a Halloween incident in which Rinna dressed as her, then used it as an excuse to harangue former castmate Kim Richards, 54.

Not offended: Erika Girardi continued to insist that she wasn't offended by Lisa Rinna dressing as her alter ego Erika Jayne for Halloween and using it as cover to attack Kim Richards

The women in Provence embarked on their day trip as a helicopter landed on their lawn.

'If I'm gonna do this trip, I'm really gonna do it right,' said organizer Kyle.

Previously terrified of traveling by air, the former actress had undergone a change of heart after her husband showed her Saint Tropez by helicopter.

Flying fan: Kyle overcame her fear of flying and organized a helicopter ride for wine tasting

'Being up that high and looking down, it was beautiful,' she explained.

'I would just like to note how much I've grown,' she said to the other women as she took a video of the land and the vineyards below them.

Then the chopper started bumping.

Getting bumpy: Lisa, Erika, Dorit Kemsley and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave were amused by Kyle

'I'm not gonna lie. I don't like this jiggling left to right,' she said.

'Nervous Nellie's back,' joked castmate Dorit Kemsley, 42.

'I'm trying to do things that I wouldn't normally do,' Kyle pointed out.

'Because life is short, guys, life is short,' Lisa said.

'Let's hope it's not that short right now, Rinna, okay?' Kyle quipped. 'Let's hope it's very long right now.'

Short life: Kyle was hoping that life wasn't going to be too short as the ride got bumpy

Erika waited until they were all safely on the ground to comment.

'Kyle, you did really well. 'Cause you know helicopters crash all the time.'

At the vineyard, each woman tasted 11 glasses of wine.

Multiple glasses: The women tasted 11 glasses of wine at a vineyard

Erika, suffering from her migraine, abstained.

'When you don't drink, you get a little irritated with the drunks,' she said.

Enjoying a blend of the bottles, an impressed Lisa volunteered to replace her former castmate Lisa Vanderpump, 58, as wine spokesperson.

Not drinking: Erika was suffering from a migraine and abstained from drinking

Vanderpump released her own wine, Vanderpump Rosé, in 2017.

Rinna dubbed her imaginary blend 'Rinna Rosé.'

'Anybody who's interested, call me, I'm ready,' she said.

Good times: The women had a blast despite the absence of Lisa Vanderpump

'I never liked that rosé,' she said of Vanderpump's wine. 'I told her I liked Whispering Angel, and she said, ''Well, what about Vanderpump Rosé?'''

Rinna affected a slurry, posh accent when imitating Vanderpump, making the group howl with laughter and inviting more impressions of one another.

Lisa then pretended to be Kyle running from a bee.

Good one: Lisa impersonated Kyle running from a bee

Kyle teased Dorit for calling her son Jagger 'Jaggy,' copied Teddi's walk, which was 'like she got off a horse,' and mimicked Denise's perplexed look.

Rinna and Dorit both mocked Camille's two-faced conversations.

Then it was time for them to impersonate Erika.

The walk: Kyle perfectly imitated Teddi's walk that was described as just getting off a horse

Too much: Erika was cracking up as Kyle imitated their friends

'I'm not gonna do this. I'm tired,' Kyle drawled, affecting her pal's aloof attitude.

She put up a dismissive hand as Erika was wont to do.

'Honey, we're good,' Kyle said while continue to impersonate Erika.

Nailed it: Kyle also impersonated Eria and took on her aloof attitude

Erika was annoyed, but said in confessional: 'She's dead-on.'

Heading home, Teddi and Kyle agreed that Erika was a 'Debbie Downer.'

Dorit admitted: 'I'm in a tough position because I think Teddi and Kyle were out of order last night. I have a lot of fun with Erika.'

Being honest: Erika was annoyed with the impressions but admitted that Kyle's impersonation of her was 'dead-on'

'Sometimes it feels like she's annoyed to be hanging out with us,' said Kyle.

'Teddi and Kyle have gotten really, really close,' Dorit revealed to the camera. '[Kyle] kind of helps her get dressed, put her makeup on... Eventually you're just going to see that they've morphed into one person.'

At dinner, Erika said she felt secure and comfortable with the group of women on the trip, noting she hadn't really been close to women before.

Getting close: Dorit noted that Kyle and Teddi had been grown increasingly closer

Once Vanderpump left the show, it was like 'the dark cloud had been removed,' the singer said in a confessional.

'When you remove a personality like Lisa Vanderpump away from a group of women like this, we've been able to connect on a much more human level,' she continued. 

Teddi then called Erika out about the Halloween conversation they'd had the night before, saying that surely she must have been irritated by what Rinna had done, using her as a costume to attack Kim.

Once again; Teddi again called Erika out about the Halloween conversation they'd had the night before

In confessionals, Erika, Dorit and Lisa pushed back.

'I'm not going to change my position, so stop asking me,' Erika said.

'What the f*** , Kyle?' asked Lisa. 'Erika just said she's finally opening up and trusting this group. What the f*** do you want, to push her away?'

Stop asking: Erika told Teddi that she wasn't changing her position and she should stop asking

One by one, the women decided to leave the table.

'I feel like she's in a bad mood with us... all the time,' said a drunk Kyle.

'Well maybe that's what you have to talk to her about,' said Lisa.

Teaming up: Kyle teamed up with Teddi and claimed Erika didn't like hanging out with them

When Erika returned to the table, Kyle took her shot.

'I don't think you enjoy being with us,' she confessed, as Teddi agreed.

Erika was miffed. 

'And so now it's turned into Erika doesn't want to be here, and I don't have fun with the group, and you don't think I like anybody,' she said. 'So, you trying to push me out?'

Getting angry: Erika got miffed and asked Kyle and Teddi if they were trying to push her out

She stormed off to bed.

'I kind of feel a little bullied right now,' she added. 'You guys wanna make up s***? Good. Keep going! Keep going!'

Kyle's attempt to apologize in Erika's room did not go well.

Nice try: Kyle tried to apologize to Erika but it did not go well

'How about we be honest in the morning?' Erika said. 'I think that would be best for all of us.'

Downstairs, Teddi was getting drunker and drunker.

'I can't be expected to be the moral compass for everybody all the time,' she slurred, explaining that she felt she had to hold people accountable for their behavior.

Not now: Erika suggested they try talking the next morning instead

'You're not,' Rinna replied, hugging her.

'Teddi's had a lot of cocktails,' Rinna said in a confessional. 'When you have a lot of cocktails, it's like truth serum, and it just starts pouring out.'

Rinna volunteered that she thought Teddi saw herself in Erika's more manipulative side, but conceded that she still wanted Erika's approval.

'Teddi, you can't fix everything,' Rinna offered.

'I don't want to f*** up everything,' said Teddi, crying. 'I just want everything to be great all the time.'

Getting emotional: Teddi started crying as she admitted to Lisa that she wanted everything to be great all the time

As 10:30 p.m. came and went, Rinna was again hugging Teddi.

'It's okay to cry. It's okay. We're human,' Rinna said.

To Erika, the QVC saleswoman shared: 'There's a lot of projection going on. They don't feel like you like being with them.'

'Who would like being with someone who is constantly trying to make something out of nothing and hang s*** on you?' Erika replied.

Good question: Erika asked who would want to spend time with people who constantly tried to make something out of nothing

'If you don't want me in the group, have the f***ing balls to say it. But don't because I had a migraine, I had a bad day this morning... we had a good day at the vineyard. Don't hold that against me tonight.'

Later, as Lisa got out of the bathtub, she found a drunken Kyle and Teddi in her bed and shooed them away.

Kyle ran away giggling, then jumped into Dorit's bed.

Bedroom fun: Kyle and Teddi jumped on Dorit's bed

Over it: Dorit was over drunk Teddi and Kyle

Teddi was found down in the kitchen, scarfing chips.

'Put that f***ing chip down,' Kyle said, marching her friend upstairs. 'We're not having a chip—we're going to bed.'

'The fact that I, in my state, am the one that has to help Teddi upstairs shows you how bad the situation is,' she pointed out.

As the episode ended, she was still trying to get Teddi to go to sleep.

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills will return next week on Bravo.

Helping hand: Kyle helped Teddi up the stairs after finding her munching on chips

Bed time: Teddi was put to bed by Kyle at the end of the episode
